Wales at Euro 2020 - TV coverage

[Dicky Davies]

Switched to RTE after about 20 mins of listening to Savage v Switzerland. Stuck with them, better commentary, fair analysis

I’ve been going out to town to watch the games so it’s been the BBC, mind you the atmosphere and singing has been so noisy you can hardly hear the commentary anyway.

I think that S4C missed a trick by not offering alternative English commentary (red button). I am sure that their audience share would have been higher.

Definitely

 

[Jimmytaff]

Definitely

I don't think they're allowed to. Think S4C are given some coverage as its cheaper than offering their own Welsh language provision

Hartson usually speaks more English than Welsh

S4c is funded by the BBC and advertising (I think ITV chuck in a few quid now and then too). I suspect they wouldn't be allowed to compete.

BTW, ITV didn't show a single Wales game in 2016 until the semi-finals. Of the 8 Wales games in 2 tournaments so far, ITV have shown 1.

So, on Sunday, I will be watching the S4C channel with the Radio Wales commentary - even though I have a huge hatred of BBC Radio Wales, it isn't as bad as ITV.

Are you sure about that? The only group game I watched at home was the Russia game, and I’m pretty sure it was on ITV. Pulis was on co-commentary, and he was awful.

your general point still stands, though.
