Conclusion (the committee's words)
We are firmly of the view that the current lack of opportunities to watch Scottish international football on free-to-air broadcast is letting down fans in Scotland, who are at a disadvantage compared to fans in England and (for now) Wales. The UK Government must be more proactive in acknowledging and responding Public broadcasting in Scotland 23 to the frustration this situation is causing in Scotland. We also wish to see more examples of public service broadcasters and subscription services making deals to share rights to international football and other major sporting events.
