STV with separate coverage of England vs Scotland tonight as you'd expect. They seem to be using graphics very similar to those used for the Champions League, albeit recoloured blue. I imagine they used the champions league ones as a start point as they would have access to them.

Also wouldn't be surprised if the STV coverage is an ITV Sport production as they're using a desk and chairs that have been used by ITV Sport in the past.

ITV's coverage seems to be quite balanced, David Moyes and Roy Keene with Lee Dixon in the studio and one off unbiased titles.


I suppose ITV would have to be unbiased, as they aren't just broadcasting in England, whereas STV are only in Scotland.


There's a world feed as well with Martin Tyler and I think Stewart Downing.


I think its an STV Sport production as STV Sport keeps appearing on the bream bumpers...

But production companies aren't usually credited within a programme. You'd expected as it's a local programme to have STV branding rather than ITV, doesn't mean it's not an ITV Sport production though. You still see BBC Sport branding on Sunset + Vine, IMG or Input Media produced programmes.

I bet all three feeds are being produced by Input Media. I would turn my dish to 24.5w to confirm but the weather is rubbish.

Just clarfiy I'm not speculating about the host broadcaster or international feeds, but STV programme as a whole.

It was in fact an STV News production....How odd!

Credited as 'STV News', guess they produced the OB and ITV helped provide them with a set.

EDIT: Beaten to it.

Guess it makes sense, it would be the only department that regally produces OBs, I'd assume?

Emmmm I think STV Sport has been credited for some OB's for some of the Scottish Europa League games in the past, and also the Scottish Rugby games, and by that I mean Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh...

It's a gripe of mine that the media portrays it as the only Rugby sport.
