The Sunday morning repeat of MOTD is contractual though, and needs to be off the air by 10:30am according to the website.
It's all to do with rights though, Sky have the online highlights rights, BBC has the Broadcast highlights rights. The rules are to protect the rights holders, I'm surprised Sky would put them on YouTube for free when they can charge people for them
Of course ITV can't put highlights on their news until MOTD partly because a lot of matches on Saturday won't have been on TV until then.
The 10:30 Sunday thing presumably is because it's 12 hours after it goes out live.... 12 hour highlight window?
