ITV are showing CL games on Tuesday AND Wednesday!!!!
They have never done this before, usually showing tuesday games on ITV digital which collapsed, or ITV2.
That's 2 Tuesday games on ITV1 and ITV2, plus 2 games on Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!
4 live games a week. :D

Heh Heh.
The football league could have got most of their money back, but they screwed it up.
ITV offered 75 mill out of court, plus Sky paid them about 95 mill for the rights
They would have got over half their money back, but oh no, they had to go to court, lost, and recieved 0 ITV money cause they had no legal agreement.
Monkies are running the football league.

Actually, it's across ITV, ITV2 and ITV News. Only really much good to you if you have Sky Digital.
Which I do ! :D

ITV is spread across Channels 103, 226 and 525 on Sky Digital.
ITV News on Channel 525 is a 24-hour News channel, but since ITV Sport has collapsed, it's the only other channel they can screen their expensively acquired CL games on. Which means, in effect, that every UK CL game will be shown on one of the three channels every week, with the games of other nations replacing those of the English and Scottish clubs as they drop out.

Tuesday-
7.30pm ITV Valencia V Liverpool
7.30pm ITV2 Arsenal V Borussia Dortmund
Wednesday-
7.30pm ITV Coranation street

Why are they not showing the newcastle game?? or will they just show it on Tyne Tees TV and not to the whole nation as they have done this in the past.
Also will there be any UEFA cup First Round matches on TV this Thursaday???

Yes it ********ing is (http://www.itv-football.co.uk/features/football_tv/schedule.html?ddmmyy=180902)
Do try to take of advantage of the fact that, whilst on Bigsoccer, you are in the company of people blessed with a brain. It's not like you have access to such capabilities on your own.

listen l'uomo che ha succhiato un l'asino i have just checked on the sky digital tv guide and on ITN at the time of kick off there is some sort of news programe.

Right, so the EPG on Sky Digital, which, for a 24-hour news channel must be a static bloody template, is right, but ITVs's own online listings are wrong. The ones that are updated daily.
The only thing that sucks anything around here is your attempts at rational thought, matey.

the sky guide is updated every 15 minutes which is proven when live programs run over the expected time and the following programs are either reschedualed or taken of the guide altogether when they decide to cancel them.

You seriously expect me to explain this to someone of your lamentable intelligence? I don't think I can do HTML crayons.
Well, you're the Newcastle fan (apparently). I'll watch the game on Sky Digital channel 525 this coming Wednesday at 8 o'clock and then, the morning after, I'll tell you all about it if you want.

You are one of the most stupid people I have encountered on Bigsoccer. And that is saying more than you can actually put into words.

well no. It's a browser-based, database and template driven code set that populates "pages" with imagery and content.
Obviously it does not have a mirror.
