As it’s now less BBC vs ITV and more Traditional Linear Broadcasters vs Pay TV & Streamers, I think it’s time to directly mention the other channel
I fully agree with that comment that it sounds daft when on the BBC they say "A vs B is on BBC One from 4pm and then you can listen to X vs Y on 5Live and then the highlights at 10.40pm", when they know full well its either on BBC or ITV. What they should say is "if you're out and about and cannot access a TV screen, then you can listen to X vs Y of 5Live", especially as both BBC and ITV have their own streaming platforms.
Another thing; although I don't hear it too much to be honest, but people from one broadcaster should stop referring to another broadcaster as "the other side", as if they're implying they're the only networks in town, though there would be a number of other broadcasters covering the same product.
