Here we go again
Main Change this season is ITV 4 get first two games and FIVE get none ITV has agreed a deal to become the lead UK broadcaster of UEFA Europa League in a three-year agreement that ends Channel 5's coverage of the tournament. The commercial broadcaster has picked up the TV rights to the first and second picks of Europa League matches from the 2012-13 to 2014-15 seasons inclusive. ESPN has picked up the remaining rights. ITV will show most of its matches on digital channel ITV4 and website ITV.com, but any games featuring UK teams from the quarter-finals onwards will be shown on ITV1. The broadcaster will also air a highlights programme each week of the competition. ESPN has grabbed the remaining rights and will show at least one game per kick-off slot each matchweek on its UK channel, as well as a highlights package. Group Stage Fixtures http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/...6_DOWNLOAD.pdf Week One 20 Sep 2012 18.00 Young Boys - Liverpool 18.00 Marítimo - Newcastle United 20:05 Tottenham Hotspur - Lazio If they don't care enough about the games and just show them online, why bid in the first place? All games can be found online if wanted anyway so who cares about itv.com? Main benefit is to watch it in HD on telly but clearly ITV can't manage it! |

Where does it say they'll just be shown online? It says big matches will be on ITV1 and other matches on ITV4.
I think it's possible that more matches will be available in HD for most people than when it was on Channel 5, since ITV1 HD is on Freeview and Freesat too whereas Channel 5 HD is only available to Sky, Virgin or FSFS customers. |

I hope ITV haven't got thier hopes up too high regarding Liverpool in Europe - they won't qualify from the group stages unless something unexpected happens (I speak as a supporter).

Yes but you still needed FSFS to watch Channel 5 HD. There must be far more people with Freesat HD or Freeview HD than with FSFS, who can now watch some matches on ITV1 HD but before couldn't watch any of Channel 5's matches in HD.

I have Freeview HD and Sky HD but if and when I cancel Sky, I don't need to buy Freesat HD as my box does the same thing, however, only difference this year is that those ex sky customers or those with Sky HD box & card won't be able watch the group games in HD. I am sure there are many many thousands of Sky HD boxes with ex sub cards in them who lose out this year until if and when English teams make the quarter final. |

You can see where ITV are coming from though, Liverpool have a much bigger UK-wide fanbase than Newcastle. Have to feel sorry for Newcastle fans without ESPN though

It's a shame that ITV won the rights! at least with C5, we would watch the games in HD without the need of Sky subscription.

When ITV had the Champions League exclusively usually the main networked game on ITV1 was Manchester United and Newcastle was on ITV2 however Tyne Tees always opted out to show Newcastle and it was the same with Yorkshire when Leeds had that one season in the Champions League while the other regions showed Manchester United. Though after 2001 shockingly Granada never opted out of networked Arsenal or Chelsea games to show Manchester United or Liverpool games.

Well our teams are treating this competitio with the usual contempt but at least the broadcasters still care!
And to be fair, Newcastle's group is pretty dull, no Lazio or Anzhi tie to hype up. |

Guess what this is all a bit tedious
Week Three 25 Oct 2012 18.00 Maribor - Tottenham ITV 4 20.05 Liverpool - Anzhi ITV 4 20:05 Newcastle - Club Bruges ESPN Bit unfair on Newcastle but I'm a Spurs fan and happy with how it's been so far. If Sky had rights no doubt they would all be available on Sky Sports 2/3/4 HD. If only Sky had a 5th HD Channel also. |

Judging by the amount of ads ESPN are running on North East radio, in the press and at the stadium I imagine they are doing alright out of being Newcastle's broadcaster

ITV's website is advertising Anji v Liverpool and Spurs v Maribor on Matchday 4, 8th November. Looks like Brugge v Newcastle is consigned to ESPN again.
