Vidiprinter has been very important in the field of offline gaming as it makes sure the viewers or spectators can know the score sitting at any seat in the stadium.

Additionally, we will also take you through how BBC and Sky Sports implement this thing.

Vidiprinter: What It Means

What is a vidiprinter?

A Vidiprinter, also known as a Sports Score and Results Ticker, is a sports score and results ticker service that is used by media organizations to broadcast live football scores on the BBC One channel and on Sky Sports News.

The service was originally provided by the UK’s National and International News and Sport Agency, the Press Association.

The contract was then outsourced to Opta Sports in 2013–14. The contract was then taken over by Opta Sports from 2013-2014 and has provided this feature since then.

How BBC Vidiprinter Is Implemented

Is there a BBC vidiprinter?

Both the BBC and Sky Sports feature vidiprinters in their scores and results shows, appearing at kick-offs until shortly after 5 pm.

They are also used during midweek games (Soccer Saturday and Soccer Special) and on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Since 1998 Sky Sports has broadcasted a midweek version of Soccer Saturday, Soccer Special, and the vidiprinter is on screen from 7:45 pm until 9:45 pm. The BBC also shows a midweek edition of the score service called Midweek Final Score but the program is a text and graphics service with audio from BBC Radio 5 Live. Both channels have different editions of their scoring options on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.  

Until 2020, neither broadcaster provided a football scores service on Sunday, apart from the last day of the season in the Premier League.

The BBC regained the FA Cup rights in 2014-15 and ran a Sunday edition for a few years, with a vidiprinter shown on screen while the FA Cup games were on.

BBC Scotland broadcasts its Saturday afternoon results show, Sportscene Results.

The vidiprinter is on screen from the program’s start until just after the classified results are shown.

From mid 2017, BBC’s website does not have a vidiprinter. Originally they had it from the early 2000s. Originally this was a live feed option of the Press Association that featured all the competitions covered. But from 2007-2008, BBC started creating its own version by removing any of its competitions and as time went on the coverage mirrored the competitions that were featured on BBC’s website. In 2013 October it featured the European league matches and cut out the Welsh and Irish games. But in season 2014-2015 the coverage was reintroduced. But sadly, the Welsh Premier League and the Northern Ireland Premiership reappeared but the cup competitions were not featured. From 2024-2025 season, television broadcasters featured the games from country-wide competitions after removing the regional National League score and the results of the BBC Scotland’s Sportscene Results.

Both nonleague football vidiprinter and league football vidiprinter are equally in trend although BBC has dropped itself from the trend.

That said, whether you are in the place of the event or anywhere in the world, you can easily get the score updates via live vidiprinter available on various websites on the internet.

If you have been wondering did the final score vidiprinter used to go up or down, this is also possible through the sporting life vidiprinter.
