Scottish football could end Saturday 3pm blackout in major broadcasting shake-up

Scottish football authorities are considering ending the traditional 3pm Saturday broadcasting blackout, which has been in place across the UK since the 1960s. The potential change would represent a major shake-up in how Scottish football matches are televised, allowing games played at that timeslot to be broadcast live. The blackout was originally introduced to protect attendances at lower-league matches, and any change in Scotland could reignite debates about the rule in England as well.
