There's Money for the Highlights

Even if the Hereford United/Leeds United FA Cup Round One tie isn't shown live from Edgar Street, there's money for the highlights.

Both BBC and Sky have the right at this stage of the competition to show one live game for which each club will receive £75,000.

However should either choose to show the highlights both clubs will receive a payment of £13,000.

Whilst it is highly unlikely that Five Live will cover the game, the fee payable for a full match commentary is £9,000.

Details of which matches will be covered are expected later tomorrow. Sky have confirmed that they will broadcast a game on the Friday evening, November 9th. The BBC is thought likely to feature a game on the following Sunday afternoon.
