It’d be interesting to know how much weighting
a) the teams involved
b) the time slot
c) other programming

Has when deciding the knock out picks

All time slots are fairly favourable from a time slot perspective, even 5pm on a weekday isn’t too bad

BBC One have a lot of programming that ideally they’d avoid, they’ve got the legends slot at Glastonbury on Sunday and the headliners slot at Glastonbury which are both one One but shunted to Two if they are showing football, Wimbledon and the aftermath of the general election, where they would ideally not end up with having to leave early for the 5pm kick off and disrupt the Six

But if a juicy tie with two massive teams falls into their lap, would this override all those scenarios

So far, France are playing Monday 5pm and Spain Sunday 8pm (opponents unknown). Austria on Tuesday at 8pm will be a bit annoying for them in having a less known team in prime time, though they are good to watch.
