So I presume that's what the last UHD only update included.

UEFA 2018-21 Rights go on sale tomorrow, bids in by Mar 1st

I'll have a dig down the back of the sofa.

Still amazes me how much Sky and BT will pay for football rights when they are relatively short term. Also be interesting to see how the Brexit battered pound affects the bidding, which I assume is probably done in Euros or Dollars.

Let's hope for a joint deal between BT and/or Sky and possibly ITV.

The Champions League has been losing viewers thanks in part to BT shelling out for all of the rights.

Whilst I see BT's approach in having the rights to themselves and showing a few games FTA, they made a massive error in not sub-licensing a game a week to a FTA terrestrial. Whether UEFA will take the drop in viewers into consideration will be interesting.

For the record I have no complaints about BT's CL coverage, they do a good job.

Echoes of the Histon V Leeds game a few years ago when ITV had the same issue.

Hope somebody is keeping a close watch on the atmos mics...

Lots of complaints on twitter, not great for a free "Showcase" match.

Seems to be a challenging match to cover - Radio Leeds were falling off air regularly through the build up due to the ISDN failing, I think they were taking 5 Live's coverage at one point

EDIT: Surprised to find out its a Telegenic OB.. Thought they were quite good!

First ad at half time, the Paddy Power one about restricted views, "I can see clearly now the rain has gone".

Slightly unfortunate!
