On reading the following article, ArseWeb reader John Copley rang Carlton to complain. He says, "I was
somewhat surprised when they informed me in no uncertain manner that they intend
to screen the Arsenal game (on ITV). I'm not sure this was just a bluff to cut
me short, however I was assured that the Arse game would definitely be shown.".
If this is true then fair play to them for finally getting it right. We'll call a truce. But seeing as not only the ITV website but Carlton's own site also stills
says they're showing Leeds (see their listing for 4th April), let's make it provisional for now...
(see this item for happy follow-up)
It comes as no surprise to learn that Carlton appear, once again, to be refusing the chance to show Arsenal live in the
champion's league.
Our quarter-final first leg, at home to Valencia on Wednesday 4th April, clashes with Leeds game against Deportivo La Coruna.
While we have no particular problem with ITV sport choosing the
Leeds tie at a national level (we can only hope that Arsenal will get the nod for the crucial second leg), Carlton do
have the option to show something different. Other regional stations do it. Carlton, according to the listings at the ITV football website, won't.
But the Arsenal game will presumably be on the digital channel ITV2, going out on the part-Carlton-owned OnDigital.... it's all
so horribly predictable.
See here for the déja-vu stuff.
