BBC Alba to show first Rangers match outside hours?
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/footbal...6908-23910037/

According to reports, Brechin City v Rangers, Ramsdens Cup Match will be shown on Sunday 29th July at 3.05pm on BBC Alba

The point is, this isn't during the normal hours available on Freeview.

The EPG (now) shows the game's slot as 1600-1705, so that would seem to be second half only ... if the SFA/SPL/SFLwrangling is resolved !

There wasn't a cat in hells chance of BBC Alba's Freeview hours changing, especially in a lockdown period.

Most people who want to see it will have satellite anyway, but it's just the principle of Freeview being ignored that I was highlighting.

The match is repeated at 10pm.

Arguably, more people in Glasgow if not the rest of Scotland would want to see Rangers than the Olympics (although this is only a league cup match).

But I agree- absolutely no chance of the hours getting changed.

Thing is, I've watched BBC Alba on a Saturday before 4pm on Freeview. It's operational hours change every day - it doesn't just run for a set 7 hour period. At the weekend, it has been known to run between around 1500 to 0130.

I think the stream just gets switched on whenever they need to use it.

OK, we'll see. I thought they would have bothered to have EPG amended by now though.

I was going to contact BBC Alba, but I couldn't decipher their website, neither could Google Translate

If it was on BBC Two in English commenary and on Freeview the game might actually get over a million viewers.

Kick off is 3.05pm, at the end of last season bbc alba showed the lower league play-offs in scotland on freeview, airdrie v dumbarton on a sunday no problem. No reason to see it being any different this coming sunday. Viewing figures may be an all-time record for bbc Alba
