TV Coverage
[edit]The right to show FA Cup games were, as with Football League matches, shared between the BBC and ITV network. All games were shown in a highlights format, except the Final, which was shown live both on BBC1 & ITV. The BBC football highlights programme Match of the Day would show up to three games and the various ITV regional network stations would cover up to one game and show highlights from other games covered elsewhere on the ITV network. The BBC showed brief highlights of two FA Cup games from rounds One & Two after League highlights games. For the first time since the 1970–71 season, an ITV Region (TVS) showed highlights of one Second Round tie, Portsmouth v Aldershot. Highlights of replays would be shown on either the BBC or ITV.
This Season ITV Highlights with the regional highlights programmes were back on Saturday nights while BBC1 Highlights under Match Of The Day were back on Sunday afternoons in the final season of the 4 year alternation deal and also the final season of ITV regional highlights
