TELEVISION COVERAGE OF THE SCOTTISH CUP FINAL

Early day motion 2174, tabled 15 May 2006 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 29 members.

That this House notes with deep concern the failure of Sky TV and digital broadcasters to show the BBC1 coverage of the Scottish Cup final, instead showing a typed message for three hours; and considers that in the age of digital switchover, where people are being encouraged to leave normal terrestrial broadcasting, the missing of the Cup Final, especially by children, should cause broadcasters, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Ofcom to resolve this issue.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, DUP 6, Scottish National Party 6, Conservative 4, Plaid Cymru 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
