As it is strange the game was ion Ireland and Scotland, can someone explain, ITV SHOULD lose the rights, it should go to Channel 5, who produce some great football coverage, ITV should be taught a lesson, the most importan goal, going, and ITV miss it.   |
ASAIK the match was on Setanta 2 in Ireland, not sure about Scotland. As Ireland get the pictures from ITV and chose themselves when to have an ad break cut away to their studio etc they weren't affected by the problem.
ITV use different playout centres to send the pictures to different aerials across the country, these playout centres also insert the ads which is why you can get a different ad in London to Newcastle for local news and things. These playout centres are programmed with auto ad breaks at certain times of the day and it seems in some of them when the match went to OT someone forgot to remove the auto ad break and it kicked in.
It was a mistake pure and simple, plenty of other channels have done the same thing and missed things if we take sport off ITV then there will be very few channels left to show these things
