An ugly transparent STV logo has appeared on the Champions League coverage up here. Presumably this time round it isn't to cover up ITV4 (or whatever).
Seems pointless to be honest. I take it Border Scotland are receiving a clean feed, in which case look out for fun technical problems like last time around.
Do STV use the ITV Sport graphics, which practically take up the width of the screen (well, 4:3 area) with "ITV Sport", then the score and then the aggerate score - plus on ITV4 the ITV4 logo itself, which has acquired a dodgy "L i v e" underneath it.
If MU v Lyon doesn't go to extra time but Arsenal do ITV1 have said they'll show that, so I wonder if STV would do the same. I would assume if either Man Utd or Celtic go into extra time STV/ITV1 wouldn't be able to pick up live coverage of the other due to rights issues.
That's funny. Someone in London/Leeds has presumably flipped the switch that gives STV control over their pictures and left them to it. STV could theoretically broadcast anything here and they wouldn't notice.
The usual reason for the match not being in widescreen AFAIK is because the host country aren't broadcasting it in that format, although you'd think Spanish television would be far enough advanced to manage that.

Sky seem to have cropped the picture to 16:9. Terrible quality.
Anyway, why do TV channels continue to broadcast 4:3 games in a 16:9 format? I'm presuming it's because the studio sections are in 16:9?
If only STV was annoying/cynical enough to constantly bombard the screen with plugs for other STV programmes, their website, and anything else they could find...
