The answer to that looks pretty obvious I'm afraid, Championship clearly doesn't exist now that der hun have got to the SPL. Really hope LD can get somewhere working
with the txssers who ru(i)n our gaame.

Don't get the hate with sportscene. It's time we stopped slagging off our game, knocking Scottish football highlights and paying a fortune to sky to plough money into the EPL and push our game further behind.
I saw some good football tonight but some poor crowds for day 1. Would love to see a real push to promote our own game and get the crowds back. More of our TV licence fees should be given to Scottish football. The fact England international games are shown free here and not Scotland games is absolutely incredible.
On a separate note though, I think it's an utter disgrace that they stop showing the championship once rangers are away.

Embarrassing. No attempt by BBC Glasgow to even pretend having an interest in other Scottish clubs.

A west of Scotland club in Championship for 2 seasons, we get selected game highlights every week. As soon as they get promoted, the Championship games are bumped completely, despite the Scottish cup winners, the Arabs and a really competitive 6 or 7 other teams all capable of finishing in the playoffs, in that league.

Not even attempting to hide their OF blinkers now - so amateur and tinpot. Imagine this happening in England...

**** them all, every last one of them!!

Let's be honest, how long have we known that the only thing that matters in Scottish football is the old firm.

My biggest problem always has, and always will be the marketing of our game. Even Barry Hearn ripped our top chiefs but have they done anything other than cream over the return of the old firm derby??

Won't miss many home games but .net will have to do and I can visualise for most away games

They weren't showing the championship.

They were showing The Rangers.

There's not much point getting upset about the attention the uglies get.

There is more interest in either of them than in the rest of Scottish football combined.

The BBC strive to provide the viewing that their audience wants so of course they'll show Rantic at the expense of everyone else.

Itritating, yes, but entirely understandable.

They are a public service broadcaster.

They should be showing Hibs, the Championship, Threave Rovers and maypole dancing - each fan pays the same license fee as each fan of the Old Firm.

I have no problem with commercial institutions playing the numbers game but I have a big problem with the BBC.


Ah well. Plenty of 3pm Saturday kick offs, no Sportscene highlights, decent Hibs team = more fans paying to watch Hibs = more money for Hibs to spend on players.

I can deal with this.

The TV companies incur an obligation to promote our game when they buy the rights. The suits who sell these rights have an obligation to promote our game, collectively. It's simply disgraceful to exclude the championship which includes the 5th and 6th (?) best supported clubs in the country, not to mention all the others.

If you were to complain to the BBC you can be sure they'd come back with "but BBC Alba..". Aye, but BBC Alba was doing its stuff AND we were getting Championship highlights on its main football programme. Not now? We pay for this. Surely the purpose of a public service broadcaster is to provide a breadth of view? No?

There is though meant to be some kind of difference between the striving that a commercial company will do in its commercial interests and the striving that a NDPB like the BBC with a public service obligation buried somewhere in its rules should have. The problem is perhaps not the symptom - slavish attention to the 'sporting' interests of the majority following the gruesome two but the cause - the skewed placement of the media in Scotland in Glasgow. With culture, government and the judiciary rooted firmly in Edinburgh there is perhaps some degree of chip on shoulder over compensation going on.:greengrin

Perhaps part of the reason the uglies are so success is they receive so much more airtime than the other teams and have done for decades. I have no issues with commercial companies creating a sloped playing field but I have no idea what advantage it brings to the BBC and the SFA. Scotland is basically being marketed and promoted as a two horse league. It is hardly surprising that that is the way it usually ends up.

Copied from a blog (http://www.gerryhassan.com/blog/the-peoples-game-still-punter-pundits-and-change/) on this and other related topics -

Between 1947-65, Rangers were the most popular side with an average home league attendance of 34,432, Celtic were on 23,834; Hearts were in third place with 21,720 and Hibs fourth with 20,641;

They're not that skint.

One look at Gary Lineker's payslip would show you that.

We're not talking about megabucks here, and we're not exactly in the strongest bargaining position either.

Chucking us a few scraps to help us promote our lower leagues and highlight the fact that there are more than 2 teams and 1 division would do no harm.

ekhibee
07-08-2016, 08:51 PM
I'm not the least surprised that they're not showing Championship highlights. Of course it's totally unfair. I do wonder if, in the future, if we were to see the return of Scotsport to STV, that we would get 2 different programmes, on STV Glasgow and STV Edinburgh? That would still potentially be unfair to people who don't live in the central belt and who's team is in the Championship, I suppose.

Hibbyradge

The BBC also sells it's football coverage overseas.

We should be looking at a subscription based internet channel for lower league games. £4.99 a month for highlights from all three lower leagues, something like that. 15,000 subscribers would be approx £900k per annum which after running costs can go straight to the clubs and cut out the middleman.

Get colleges around the country to help provide coverage like they do at Raith.

It's the SPFLn we should be angry at, as yet again they've failed to insist that our game in Scotland is adequately presented on TV.

They should be insisting that the Championship at least is represented on highlights shows like Sportscene as part of the TV deal.

Last season's Championship was every bit as exciting as the Premiership, if not more so, and two Championship sides served up the game of the season (imho) at the Scottish Cup Final.

These ****wits have no idea how to package a gold product in Scotland, and no coverage of the opening day of the Championship season is a terrible howler.

Thankfully Sky had the goals on TV yesterday.

Hopefully Hibs find a way to capitalise on the lack of media coverage and are able to push out and promote their highlights package well.

Spot on.

Everyone knew last seasons coverage of The Championship was because Scotland's newest club were playing in it. It's now been confirmed by Sportscene blanking the league. If they don't show highlights of the game between the clubs who came second, and third, last season what will they show?

BBC Scotland continue to pander to Sevco, despite being banned for having the audacity to report the truth, that Rangers fans had been reported by the match delegate for sectarian singing. They ought to tell the to get tae ****, and not show any of their games. I bet the BBC will still pay Sevco to show some of their cup games live this season.

Also, the authorities should step in and tell the newco that they have to give access to a TV company that have paid for rights. I can understand Sevco's position if the BBBC had broadcast lies about the club, or their staff, but they're trying to bully the BBC into supressing the truth, which they already managed with the ludicrous reporting on the deadco's liquidation, and "return" to the SPL etc.

I'm not all that bothered about Sportscene not showing Championship highlights .... the goals from the Hibs games are always to be found somewhere.

What does annoy me is that over the last few years the BBC have dropped their on line coverage, where you could pick what game you wanted to listen to, and Forth 2 appear to have stopped covering Hibs & Hearts games ..... its a real pity coz surely Forth 2 would have got a decent amount of listeners if they were covering away games for both Edinburgh clubs ... no I haven't forgotten Edinburgh City.

I wonder how many ... if any .... Hibs away games will be live on ALBA this year.

Unfortunately I don't have £60 for a Hibs TV subscription so updates on Hibs.Net it will have to be.

Highlight of Sportscene tonight (other than an unexpected snippet of Sir David's SC Final goal) was Liam Boyce performance for Ross County.
