Ofcom Update: Ofcom gives consent to BBC and ITV for Euro 2008 Coverage

Following a request received from ITV and BBC for consent to broadcast live coverage of part of the Euro 2008 Football Championships, Ofcom invited comments from other broadcasters and interested parties by 25 April 2008 (http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/euro2008/).

After considering information supplied by the BBC and ITV in support of their applications and the one (confidential) response to the public consultation, Ofcom has decided to grant consent to the proposed coverage.

ITV and the BBC will be sharing coverage of Euro 2008. All of the matches which they will be showing will be on ITV1 and BBC One except for four in the earlier stages of the tournament which clash with other matches on the same evening and which will therefore be shown on ITV or BBC digital channels.
