League agree highlights package

Last updated : 09 October 2002 By Michael Morris
A package thought to be worth around £5m will be unveiled soon. The return to the clubs is miniscule compared to what would have been on offer from the ITV Digital deal. For the fans though there's then chance to see goal / match highlights on terrestrial TV again.

Exact details are not known but for Cardiff City a return to Soccer Sunday (anything is better than nothing) is on the cards. A Nationwide round up, like before is also a possibility.

At the moment Sky Sports News show goal highlights in the hours following games on a Saturday and in midweek and if you are lucky the local news channels sometimes show goal clips.

Those with access to Sky Digital can receive every ITV region in the UK so the options for watching Nationwide footal will be much wider.
