BBC Wins Rights to Cricket Coverage

[Teatime FatCat]

By the mighty power of Rupert Murdoch's Magic Lantern, I can view BBC Scotland, BBC Ireland and BBC Wales should I wish to do so. They haven't yet come up with BBC Isle of Wight, so I probably won't be able to see International Bowls, Zimmer Racing or Condom Fishing.

He's a wonderful chap, that Murdoch fellow, isn't he?

Correct for 10 points I think Rich, if you live near the Scottish boarder on an oil rig or something you would be OK, but I think only the extreem North of England will be able to twiddle with their tuning knobs and recieve it.

I'm pretty sure you can't watch sport events through BBC Scotland on Sky Digital, even though you can get those channels in England. You would need to register your Sky account to a Scotland address and then they'd send out a viewing card where the default BBC channel would be BBC Scotland.

I guess it's to do with rights issues. Same thing with football that's on BBC Scotland.

And I've never heard of Condom FIshing!

You've obviously never dipped your rod in anywhere near Cowes!

I'll try the BBC Scotland experiment when I get home.
