GovanAllan 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Have to agree Stewarty it's a big single finger to the beeb, the more the better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Not sure it is a finger up to the Beeb as I don't think it is in their field to do commercial projects with anyone. May be wrong. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Definitely a big 'get it up you BBC' considering there favouritism towards the 2nd tier of english football, never mind all the other BULLSHIT! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Unfortunately STV is absolutely abysmal - with about 4p budget going into their programming. If this benefits us, great, but I can't see a great deal of success from partnering with them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Being in Bermuda and my Mum being here for Xmas we have been using both the BBC and STV iPlayer. Have to say, the STV one is shite whereas there is very little buffering on the BBC one. So if this is an "online media partnership" then we have probably backed the wrong horse. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,877 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Some of the usual suspects on twitter suggesting that this will adversely impact on STV's impartiality. Not made up my mind about this yet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Some of the usual suspects on twitter suggesting that this will adversely impact on STV's impartiality. Frankly it will. If they've commercially made an agreement with us, they are not going to be negative towards the club in their news reporting of us. Not made up my mind about this yet. They have some decent employees at STV but as a broadcaster they're extremely poor and I can't see how this will make us money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 this will adversely impact on STV's impartiality. Do STV need to be impartial???? The BBC are a public funded body, so they have to be impartial (allegedly)....STV on the other hand are a commercial entity and therefore have a lot more freedom. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
