I've never seen a live countdown on a promo end-board before.

4seven still has its break bumpers change colour based on the time of day - I wish more channels would try out stuff like this.

Should do it. The stadium is in the south-west of the city.

Using Google distance measuring tool (and clicking via the most logical route) says its 5 miles from the ground to the Red Square broadcast compound.

Given the significance, surely if England win tonight there will be a news report on BBC One?

ITV, as a commercial broadcaster, must be over the moon to have the rights to the game tonight. Should be looking at some huge numbers.

Gary Linekar (and Probably the other BBC pundits still in Moscow) are going to the match tonight. Does anyone know far far the stadium is to the studio for the Highlights? If it goes to Penalties there only be an hour for them to get back?


No doubt there's some behind the scenes documentary being filmed around it too.

Bit of a view of the ITV studio without the effects:

And sober up. Either way no chance they'll be able to keep a straight face for the intro, though they could do the HLs from the stadium, filming the intro beforehand.

Do the stadiums not have studio boxes available to the home broadcasters of the countries?
I would have thought it would be better to anchor from the stadium at this stage.

You would think they'd have them available to the teams in the matches - indeed for UEFA tournaments for the bigger stadia think they have to have a minimum of 4.

Early days, but think the buildup to such a huge occasion is really lacking without the atmosphere of the stadium.

I'd imagine if ITV had the choice they'd be there so presumably they're constrained in some way.

Even if they could only be pitchside as they are now that would improve things. Jacqui and Gabby got the best gigs out there if you're after a pitchside seat.

Doing the whole thing pitchside might be a bit scrappy though. They’ve got an hour of build up, and you can tell Jacqui and the guys could barely hear each other just then.

I wonder if they do have stadium studios available, and if they do can the hold 5 people without them sitting on each other’s laps

Certainly live rugby on the BBC and Premier League on BT do the build up on the pitch more often than not.

ITV really should have left the celeb vox pops to GMB or This Morning. Awkward in the build up.
