Just saw this on Twitter and found it quite an interesting read.
Could Hibs really benefit from this? The author isn't suggesting that Scottish games should be on TV at 3pm because our two main Broadcasters, BT Sport and SKY wouldn't be able air games at that time anyway but it would allow us and all other clubs to sell our Live games to fans throughout Scotland.
I know a lot of people will say this could hurt attendances but possibly thousands watch illegal streams each week on Hibs International, Hibs Extra and/or BBC Alba during the 3pm Blackout.
Does anyone else think Scottish Football should do this?

Jamesie, thats not the case, if the SFA wanted to allow broadcasts of 3pm games they simply wouldn't apply for the "closed period"
Wales don't apply for said closed periods and regularly air games on their S4C channel every Saturday afternoon.

I'm all for this but only if the Tories don't get in at the next general election.

A yes vote would be a game changer in many aspects including Broadcasting and commercial contracts with then non existing Companies.

This matter is already dealt with in Scotland by the SPFL and it's member clubs. Neither Westminster nor the English FA have any say in the deal.
If the SPFL and Sky/BT want to change this then they can do so right now by agreeing to amend the current deal. Alternatively if it becomes something that either side wants to add to the new deal they can do that in 2017 when the current deal is up for renewal.
Being independent won't guarantee that people will continue to attend matches. It also won't guarantee the continued press coverage of current matches either. It's well known that televised category B matches are not covered as well or as fully across other media outlets because the vast majority of people will have seen the match with their own eyes.
In my opinion TV has already done enough damage to our game without this being added to the problems.

We don't need a Yes vote to Broadcast live football in Scotland at 3pm, all we need is for the SFA to not take up Uefa's offer of the 150 mins closed period on a set day.
The Welsh FA don't take it up and they actually broadcast live football while we're under our blanket ban.
