The BBC has the same match on ch1 and ch2. They must have some production goons there.

They've been doing it for decades when they move a game from, say BBC1
to BBC2 for the 6pm news.

Meanwhile ITV has the pundits watching the penalty shoot-out,
which is not allowed to be in vision.

Actually, I think ITV could have shown it, the exclusive match sharing
for Euro 2024, is only in essence a gentleman's agreement between BBC
and ITV. As far as UEFA are concerned, both broadcasters are fully paid
up to both show whatever they like.

I'm sure ITV's producer opted not to show the penalties, for fear of
upsetting the BBC, and they'd go and show the England semi-final match (currently ITV will be showing that exclusively)

Also not worth doing it, because no one will have been watching ITV
during that shoot out anyway !

Do the majority of viewers still watch on BBC?

Yes, but that's irrelevant with what happened last night.
