We consulted during April and May 2017 on the requests (https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-3/listed-events-six-nations-rugby-union-championship).
Ofcom received one response from S4C PDF, 173.4 KB to say that in addition to BBC and ITV’s coverage it will broadcast non-exclusive live coverage of all the Wales matches in the tournament in the Welsh language. No other expressions of interest or responses opposing the proposal were received.
Having considered the outcome of the consultation and the information supplied by the BBC and ITV in support of their application, Ofcom has decided to grant consent to the BBC and ITV’s exclusive live coverage.
Six Nations matches involving home countries of the UK are Group B Listed Events under the Broadcasting Act 1996. In accordance with section 101 of the Broadcasting Act 1996, Ofcom’s consent is needed for exclusive live coverage of these events. The rules which apply are set out in the Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events.
