The other general point is, ITV didn't buy the rights to the Europa League out of the goodness of their own hearts, one of the main reasons they bought it was to draw viewers to ITV4. If they shift every decent match to ITV1, what's the point of having ITV4? ITV want viewers to watch ITV4.
You may as well complain that Sky are showing the Man City match this week on Sky Sports 5 when they could have shown it on SS1 and those people on BT who don't have SS5 could see it. But they want people to watch Sky Sports 5.
