Absolutely no mention of any other Home nation... OUR money so people can watch England while the rest of the Home nations have to pay to watch our teams.

A possible scenario is that one broadcaster, for example the BBC in Britain, might show all of England's and Scotland's matches but the rest of the competition could be on a pay-TV channel like Sky Sports.
Only one broadcaster will win the rights, rather than take their games from the EBU. UEFA said viewers would always watch their own country on free-to-air TV.
