Nationwide highlights return to ITV

Last updated : 30 October 2002 By Michael Morris
A deal has been agreed with the Football League and ITV to show Nationwide, Worthington Cup and LDV Vans match highlights on terrestrial TV.

The deal is worth £2m in cash now and £3m in advance on the liquidation of ITV Digital will see clubs in Div 1 pick up £111,000, Div 2 £54,000 and Div 3 £42,000.

The viewing public will now receive highlights action on weekends and in midweek. City fans will get highlights of this weekends fixture against Peterborough in a Soccer Sunday show at 12:30pm on Sunday. Last season we had the Top Sport show in midweek so I assume there will be something similar.
