Where the BBC (News 24) allowed to show the World Cup 2006 qualifing stages draw today? All this week Sky Sports News have been building it up as Exclusive, ITV News Channel, Sky News and Eurosport/Eurosport News didnt show any of it live but BBC News 24 showed the UEFA bit of the draw live.

I don`t think News 24 would broadcast anything they were prohibited from showing. Stop trying to stir up sh*t.

The World Cup draw has always been available to all broadcasters - it's a way of building up publicity for the tournament. I suspect that the BBC had planned to include it in N24 for several days.
SSN on the other hand really had a gift horse - they really couldn't avoid having 2 hours worth of programme material - effectively free - for a winter Friday afternoon.
Remember that there'll be a dog fight now for match coverage and both the BBC and Sky (together with ITV) will be fighting for rights hammer and tongs.
Jon Sopel and Louise Minchin are not there in their regular slot
They don't do Fridays anyway.
Woops - its Friday already..! Where did my week go?!
Anyway, its not the regulars and if Joanna is not on holiday why didnt she do her regular shift?
Because Anna and Joanna have swapped shifts - Anna now does the morning shift with Phil Hayton, and Joanna does Fri-Sun evenings with Chris Lowe. Phil and Anna were supposed to re-launch News 24 on Monday, had it gone ahead when it was supposed to.

Er...I think you'll find that the BBC and ITV already have rights to the World Cup 2006 matches. As terrestrial broadcasters, they share and negotiate rights every so often. Sky, as a satellite broadcaster aren't allowed by FIFA to enter any 'dogfight'.

But this is for the preliminary qualifying rounds, not for the World Cup Finals in 2006.

The BBC allready have exclusive rights to all England, Wales(with S4C) and Northern Ireland matches though. Also I dont think they draw was avalible for free to all broadcasters, none of it was live on Sky News, Sky News Active, ITV NC or on the internet. www.knplogic.co.uk/sport also states its only on a few selected mostly pay TV channels across Europe.
Yes, all broadcasters can bid to show World Cup qualifier matches.
However, it is not FIFA that would stop Sky from showing World Cup Finals matches. Legislation exists in one or more Acts of Parliament that prevents broadcasters from purchasing rights to "listed events" such as the World Cup Finals and the Olympics, if they only intend to show them on an exclusive basis i.e. subscription.

They did for the Euro 2004 qualifiers - nothing has yet been signed for 2006 qualifying matches.

N24 did the right thing by showing it
The BBC had UK rights to the draw. So it could be shown on News24 but not on World
Did anyone see the new multiscreen 'filler' this morning? It's exactly the same as the others just this time has 'Coming Soon' in the box. This was shown before the public enquiry of Steven Hilder's death at Hereford Racecourse (at about 11:00)? Just thought you'd like to know! :
