Hi everyone

Does anyone know the situation with the scheduling of the world cup and Royal Ascot?

I'd far rather the world cup matches being shown on the days of ascot moved to ITV4 but seen from a source https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Global/Issues/2017/12/13/Media/Royal-Ascot.aspx that the horse racing will most likely be on ITV4. Not a source I know to be reliable.

If this is the case, then the trailer from ITV is misleading as it's advertised as being on the main channel.

This is coming from a non-football fan. I recognize the world cup is a huge event, but it's not in Britain Razz

It's shared. Basically when there is a World Cup match, that's the priority on ITV

19th - ITV (13:30 - 15:25) ITV4 (15:20 - 18:00)
20th - ITV (13:30 - 18:00)
21st - ITV4 (13:30 - 18:00)
22nd - ITV4 (13:30 - 15:30) ITV (15:20 - 18:00)
