Yeovil); those two teams only get £20 000 as a broadcast fee, whilst the linearly broadcasted teams receive £60 000 each. With the BBC airing a Saturday lunchtime game, this means that each match will be aired on different channels to each other.
I guess the lower cost to stream rather than broadcast justifies it then - ITV don't think they'd make an extra £80k by broadcasting the game on ITV4, or at least think the value in driving people to ITVX exceeds anythng else they could make by giving it a broadcast slot.
Was is just match coverage of the ITVX game in the last round or did they have presentation on site too?
