On Sunday which channel will you be watching the final on. Personally I will be watching ITV for the majority of the match but will flick between the two channels throughout
«1345

    BBC all the way, cant abide ITVs coverage.

    No breaks, no Chiles, no Townsend.

    Dont the BBC usually wipe the floor viewing figures wise with ITV when they broadcast simultaneously?

    I have said ITV as I prefer there pundits but if ITV have Ian Wright as a pundit for the final it will be BBC for me.

    BBC. Always is for the final every 2 years if only because there's no ads.

    BBC definitely for me. ITV have nothing going for them.. AT ALL..........,The Presenters, Pundits,Commentators and their side-kicks are way behind the BBC standards. ITV should just stick to what they do best. SOAPS and fluffy chat shows...

    The only thing they have got going for them is people who make use of ad breaks.

    Then again, taking time away from Shearer and Hansen for a few minutes you're not going to miss anything earth shattering.

    I can't stand Shearer and Hansen.
    I also can't stand Ian Wright as I have already pointed out.

    But I am hoping ITV have Martin O'Neil, Lee Dixon and Glen Hoddle as pundits for the Final.

    We all know the BBC will have Hansen and the other 2 will probably be Henry and Rio

    ITV if I am honest. Been quite impressed with Glenn Hoddle, Ian Wright and Martin O'Neill.

    I don't really mind. I don't really watch the waffle before international matches or at half time, so it makes no difference to me.

    Henry's gone home. It'll most likely be Hansen, Shearer and Ferdinand.

    ITV definately for me. I might have put up with BBC if Henry was still there

    Oh, BBC without question.

    A more pertinent question would surely be - how big will the ratio of BBC's viewers to ITV's be?

    BBC, simply because I can synchronise with radio 5 and not have to endure the television commentators and pundits.

    BBC no doubt.

    Who will be commentating? Really hope Lawrenson isn't co-commentator.

    BBC as always.

    ITV should be banned from broadcasting football. Their only saving grace has been Glenn Hoddle, who has been pretty good.

    I love Cannavaro's insights. He is an absolut legend and always understood the game pefectly as a player and everything he says makes a lot of sense. Hoddle is also better than Ferdinand or Shearer. Never thought Ferdinand had anything of interest to say.
