8pm kick off, build up on itv4 - Obviously more likely to be 7.45 ideally but I wonder if thye might have some leeway - I'm sure broadcasters have some say on kick off times.

Sure Poland wanting nothing to do with a game on Wednesday is not linked to their currently injured captain? Surely build up could stay on ITV2 |

And also, this being the ratings thread, moving Emmerdale pre-7pm will really harm the ratings for what is meant to be a big deal for them.

Rumour is the match will be played at 3pm tomorrow afternoon. At least that will solve the Emmerdale issue...

Would the advertisers and such be involved in a decision over this? They won't want to be going out on ITV4 instead of ITV1 for an England game...

3pm tomorrow apparently?
They could air a re-run at 8pm after En Fm! |

Remember what date that match was on? I'd get the ratings if I knew what date it was on.

Just to check, does ITV1 absolutely have to broadcast it live? Surely their commitments to the live episode tomorrow are more important than the commitments to the match, given how much work and promotion's gone into it?
And for all those suggesting Emmerdale should be moved about, that isn't really an option. It would be an absolute nightmare for the production team to add or remove 2 hours of their schedule tomorrow, which will be very busy and planned to the minute, at less than 24 hours notice. Quote:
Didn't realise. Oh dear!
![]() I do think ITV should have realised there was a risk that if tonights match didn't happen, it would be played tomorrow, hence scheduling the live Em for Thursday might have been safer. They'll learn their lesson though! ITV will unleash an almighty shitstorm if they aren't in Warsaw at 7.45pm tomorrow, on ITV1. |

If it's moved to 3pm that's actually a bigger headache overall for most people behind the scenes (advertisers, ITV execs, FIFA are all going to have to re-negotiate some payments) but I do feel sometimes you have to put the public first. A one-off live episode of one of the country's most popular programmes has been promised to the public for 7pm tomorrow. If they can't make that happen, then they've been truly screwed over in this contract with FIFA.

Then the match will be shown on ITV4.
Personally, I don't think they'll agree to play the game tomorrow. It'll be in June, I think. |

At least it would not be on 11am like that World Cup in Korea/Japan.

If it goes at 3pm that works for ITV1 quite well in scheduling terms, and then they can stick highlights at 10.35pm on ITV1 and perhaps 8pm on ITV4. |

A hour of highlights, cancelling the easily-rescheduled Mr & Mrs and avoiding any scheduling issues with DCI Banks.

I'll be outraged if Mr & Mrs is cancelled.
Nadia Sawalha is on. |

Regardless of what happens with Emmerdale, this does raise interesting questions about which contracts take precedence over others in this kind of scenario.

Anti-ITV folks lead by Robbie are just trying to whip up a 'lets criticise ITV for every possible situation'.
People seem to think that every other channel around the world just shows filler every night, even if it was on Sky, they may have trouble fitting the match in without knocking off some other live sport they have scheduled. |

Emmerdale can go ahead as planned, Mr & Mrs goes out & DCI Banks. |
