Take note UEFA.
Those numbers put it quite starkly the difference between the reach of FTA and Pay TV, with a run-of-the-mill international qualifier (added interest with a derby but not much tension whether it will not be a England win) outrating two highly entertaining quarter-finals with English involvement.

Despite the England qualifier being an international derby, ITV notably presented from Ealing. It will be interesting to see what the Ealing/onsite split will be when ITV regain the England men's internationals in the Autumn. They were onsite for every single qualifier in their previous run when possible, even in Andorra, Moldova and Malta.
And I do like the back-to-basics interview position.

That makes sense. Good to hear there was a good reason for the subpar coverage.
The S4C highlights was from the studio, with Sioned Dafydd competing with Catrin Heledd for the busiest woman in Welsh broadcasting (and she was filiming in Southampton today, so she's on the road loads in the last week!).
Carl Roberts was onsite conducting interviews on the Radio Cymru broadcast, which must have been used across the S4C highlights etc. S4C and the radio commentaries were offtube for definite.
Abigail will be there.

Incidentally, we do have an answer as to why BBC2 Wales didn't show the Kosovo v Wales qualifier yesterday.
Under normal circumstances, BBC Wales would provide a feed from the home game free-of-charge to the 'away' broadcaster in return for the same from the corresponding away fixture (this is under the terms of the contract with the FAW)
Unfortunately, there was no broadcaster in Kosovo willing to show the game live (despite there being a full, multi-camera OB in place)
