        But does the BBC have the right to show live games abroad? (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 22, 13:56:49
        
        well the site can theoretically purchase from the league (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 22, 14:19:48
        
        no they dont, and they don't provide the footage to overseas betting sites (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 14:08:18
        
        how do the sites get the match with bbc commentary? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 22, 14:20:33
        
        because the league ask the Beeb to provide it for them (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 14:25:06
        
        so they do provide it but you just said they don't before (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 22, 14:29:13
        
        correct, the League sells it and the Beeb get nothing (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 14:34:09
        
        would be tough on the beeb not getting something for supplying comms (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 22, 14:37:15
        
        it's what they do for CanariesWorld with the Radio Norfolk comms (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 14:43:34
