Fairly certain Rangers were listed on STV, yet Liverpool are on. Last season you could be fairly sure that you would find Arsenal or Chelsea on ITV London, yet that's Liverpool too. Last resort would be ITV 2/3/4, yet that's Liverpool too.... oh wait, there's nothing there. ITV used to have Tuesday nights as well, but Sky had Chelsea and man Utd last night didn't they? Have things changed this season with Sky taking a greater share of the British games from ITV, or is this just a mess?

Sky now have all 8 games live on a Tuesday and 7 on a Wednesday (ITV have the other).

STV and ITV have been having some battle about programming recently (that's why we get sh.tty Scottish stuff on STV instead of the new dramas on ITV). It looks like STV aren't shelling out for the Scottish teams CL games.

Well when you put it like that, no Rangers seems alright to me.... Still a bit p!sh, thought ITV were due a greater share under the Champions League being in part protected.

This season, ITV have decided against regional opt outs for CL coverage, so they basically get one game a week to show.

Highly unlikely they'll choose to show the Huns unless they're playing against an English team TBH.
