rugby union programmes. The brand extends to BBC Wales' live coverage, Scrum V Live, highlights programmes, radio discussion and website.Television
Prior to the introduction of Scrum V, BBC Wales broadcast a discussion based format television programme called Rugby Special Wales. This later was rebranded Scrum V. In addition live rugby matches in Wales that were not shown across the UK were shown under the title Scrum V Live. Scrum V's graphics are different from BBC Sport's house style using predominately blue and orange colours instead of the black and yellow used by the majority of BBC Sport's rugby output.
Website
The Scrum V website contains information about the programme, further features centred around Welsh rugby as well as the ability to watch previous editions of the show. The Scrum V website also houses the BBC Rugby Union messageboards. Like the television programme, the website uses a different visual style to that of the rest of BBC Sport, although quotes from the Scrum V messageboard are incorporated into the main BBC sport website.
Radio
For the 2006/07 season it was announced that a Thursday night discussion programme would be broadcast on
BBC Radio Wales under the Scrum V branding. [ [http://www.aberdareonline.co.uk/content/public/news/default.asp?ID=16420 Aberdare Online:New four-year broadcast deal for Welsh rugby] ]Footnotes
