^ A couple of other points I forgot to mention.
1. Perhaps it's needless to say, but I deliberately didn't include any matches that were only shown abroad. The list only consists of matches that were legally broadcast in the UK.
2. You may not know that there is a ruling called the "blackout rule" which prevents games from being broadcast live between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday afternoons in the UK. That's how to determine whether a game was shown live in the UK or not. The rule has been in place since the 60s! |

Re: the FA Cup semi-final v West Brom in 1978 - I have a DVD recording of the full 90 minutes (obviously converted from VHS) and it was on a channel called Viasat which is seemingly a Scandinavian TV channel. So, it may have been broadcast abroad but not in the UK.
There are several games that have been shown live abroad but not in this country, particularly in more recent times. For example, the FA Cup tie at home to Portsmouth in 2008 was shown on FOX Sports in America and several of our Championship matches in the past few seasons have been beamed live overseas. These are the games that you would then see shown as the featured matches in the evening highlights programmes over here.
@ITFC_Cairo Not true, actually. Over half of the games we've ever had shown live on TV in the UK have been since we last dropped out of the top-flight, such has been the increase in televised football. I think only about 25% of the matches we've had on TV have been from when we've been competing in the top division. |
