Very obviously is not the case by any metric

There are arguably certain things that are worth paying a premium for too

6 Nations coverage isn’t cheap either for example. The BBC spend a fortune on Glastonbury which isn’t for everyone. Wimbledon.

Personally I think they do a pretty good job. And that is nothing to do with my personal viewing preferences! There is an amazing breadth of content and they get the balance right on value for money IMO

Absolutely nothing obvious about it. There are almost 25 million licence fee payers in the country. Match of the day gets roughly 2 million viewers.
Hardly premium figures.
For context heres last weeks best bbc viewed programmes
Beyond Paradise 7.5 M
Wild Isles. 5M
Race across the World. 4.5M
Antiques Roadshow. 4.5M
Blue Lights 4.1M

Not looking for an argument but this premium product isn’t value for money. Nor Glastonbury or the six nation or Golf as they’ve already stopped that.

Maybe the page is personalised because I can't see any Aberdeen/Rangers story on the football page ....

Not specifically a Sportscene issue, but on the wider point about BBC coverage of the Scottish game, interesting to see there are NO Scottish football stories on the football page of the BBC Sport website. Stories about the FA Cup, the EPL, European football, the Women's game, but not Scottish stories.

Just click on Leagues & Cups, there are loads of stories in there about Scottish Football.

A very flawed and old fashioned argument. On a Saturday night it probably has a 25% audience share.

On an annual basis MOTD gets over 40 million streams and is in the BBCs top 20 shows

Also see this from 2019

More than half were positive or neutral on MOTD and it was in the top 100 popular shows across all channels. So license fee payers objectively in favour of the programme

Ah. A good old yougov poll rather than actual viewing figures. I bet the majority of folk paying the licence fee do so because they legally have to and don’t give where it goes a second thought. I’d be surprised if it’s in their mind when doing a popularity poll. Also depends on what question is asked and to whom. The viewing figures suggest it’s not nearly as popular on the BBC as other programmes for a fraction of the budget. I think my thinking it’s not value for money stands. Like I said not looking for an argument just putting last weeks figures out there. Those figures I gave were just the bbc ones. ITV figures featured much higher and more frequently.

They think they have to.

But you do have the choice. If you want English tv you simply tune in to English tv.
I don’t want to watch English women’s football or FA cup games. My choice very often seems to be to turn off or look for something on a pay per view channel. It tells me the bbc put a disproportionate amount of my licence fee in to English football.
When the Scottish League Cup final was on, bbc and itv were showing us the above live and not even a nod towards a national cup final taking place in part of the uk by any terrestrial channel. It may even have been bbc one and two rather than itv. One way or another two of the principal terrestrial channels were dominated by English football and regularly are.

The Scottish league cup competition that’s sponsored by and wholly broadcast on a subscription channel, who pay for that privilege?

More surprising that you’d expect the BBC to mention something they legally cannot broadcast, why would they?

Your experience is a lot different to mine. A large number of Scottish football fans I've ever come across have a preferred English team or at the very least teams they like more than others and teams they dislike.

My experience is the same as yours

Correct, I’ve never paid it and I’ve been waiting for my visit from Mr BBC for around 5 years now.

Just go online, fill in the form about not having a connected tv and they wont get in touch for another year, it might even be 3 years.

And remember even if someone comes to your door, tell them nothing and just close the door.

I’m actually wanting them to come to the door that’s why I’ve not done that. I want to waste their time, have them come out to my house and just tell them to go away and close the door. ********s.
