Bbc1 Wimbledon

[Ric.ror]

Why do they do that
I don't care about it so why not keep it on bbc2
They have to change the schedule of both channels

[Psybbo]

AGREED!

[gingejbee]

Couldn't agree more! They do have an explanation - but it's so unconvincing, I can't remember what it is.

[mushroom25]

the bbc thinks murray fans are too stupid to work out how to change channels

[VHG]

It is not too difficult to switch to BBC2 if you want to watch the news or the One Show is it?

I bet more people are interested in the Murray match.

[gingejbee]

So more people are interested...doesn't explain much...

[mushroom25]

the problem with keeping the tennis on bbc1 is that there's no facility for regional broadcasting on bbc2. this means that tonight there's no regional news. again.

[tamborine]

coz Murray fans dont wanna miss a frame of excitement - so there ;)

[bibblebub]

It doesn't bother me but the BBC should have stopped this outdated practice of switching the coverage from one channel to another a long time ago.

[Ric.ror]

I actually wanted to watch a very important news item on the local news
No chance of that
Look I don't have a problem with it being on
Just keep it on 2

[Psybbo]

Regional news is on now on BBC1

[andy-hughes]

It's two weeks out of fity-two weeks - learn a little tolerance!

[bibblebub]

but they occasionally do the same thing with live football - the 1st half on one channel and then the 2nd half on the other channel

Why would anyone want to watch tennis ...

People....just watch regional ITV!

Lordy lordy.

Dave!!!!!!!!!!!

[jim360]

Yes, dave, the game has no attractions...

Even as a tennis fan I do wish they'd stop changing what match was on which channel -- keeps switching all over the place. Never mind, at least the tennis was entertaining today.

[jomifl]

I was looking for a particular tennis match on BBC sat. channels, they had 1 match on 5 different channels and the 1 that wanted on none.??????

[smoneybags]

I loathe the whole Wimbledon thing, and have no wish to watch it on any channel. It's about time the BBC had a dedicated sport channel so that those who wish to watch sport can do so, leaving the rest of us in peace. In fact thinking about it I hate the whole sport thing, including Formula 1 which isn't really a sport!

[sir.prize]

jomifl - you can watch whichever tennis match you like on here
