Why no Football League Show tonight?

Does the BBC really think people will rather watch bloody Graham Norton, or are they not contracted to show highlights tonight?

Rather annoying. I was looking forward to watching it tonight. Don't understand why they can not put it on another bbc channel.

Simple really. The BBC only have contractual rights to show highlights of Football League games played on a Saturday, hence why their was no programme on Boxing Day either.

That would be a very strange rights deal. Why would the Football League not want midweek games to be shown?

It would be up against Champions League highlights a lot of the time.

Midweek yes. But it would make no sense for the Football league to rule out parts of the fixture list - that would be down to the BBC and whether they feel a programme is worthwhile. The League don't pay for the shows.
