Grrrrrrrr

What do they mean? casualty will be shown at a later stage.
Tennis on both channels at the same time. I am fuming.

[fiction-factory]

I assume it's two different tennis matches.
Apart from live sporting events I tend to record everything I'm interested in and watch it when it's convenient, and in fact I usually have a bit of a backlog so it's not a problem if any programme gets postponed

Ummm - EE was on late last night (don’t know if it was because Corrie was late and an hour long or if it had to be shown later because of the kicking Ben got).

[douglas9401]

Ben got a kicking??!!??

[ummmm]

I would have been in bed Sher :-)

[douglas9401]

Nope, no idea what you're talking about. :-)

It's high time that the BBC got its own dedicated Sports Channel for showing all the boring sport it shows - then they wouldn't need to axe programmes to make way for Tennis, Football and boring Cricket etc etc that over runs and eats in to the scheduled programmes people look forward to viewing every week.
Don't show any sport on BBC One and Two. In the world of modern multi TV channel setups - this should be the way forward - a dedicated sports channel. The BBC as an organisation really is going down the dumps and needs overhauled. Rant over . . . .

No, it was the Evans match on BBC2 and when Murray's game was over, they were pleased to be able to show the same game on BBC1. I kept switching backwards and forwards between the channels and it was the same game. Disgusting!

[douglas9401]

Disgusting indeed, someone should be flogged for this.

It's completely unacceptable and it's not at all an over-reaction to reach for the 'd' word right out of the traps.

Nope, not at all.

There's no spare capacity for it on Freeview though, so such a channel would only be available to users of other platforms (which, in turn, would bring about howls of protest from viewers who've not got Sky, Freesat, Virgin or something similar).

Capacity issues might also have been involved in the decision to show tennis on BBC1 tonight as (again due to a lack of capacity within the Freeview system) BBC2 isn't available for Scottish viewers using Freeview. (It had to be removed to make way for BBC Scotland).

You see? There's always somebody worse of than yourself.

Buen:
You can get BBC 2 in Scotland - I watch it sometimes for Mock The Week and some other stuff. It on Freeview Channel 2 (SD) and 102 (HD).
The BBC Scotland channel is on Freeview 9 (SD) and 115 (HD).

With regards to the Freeview spare capacity - I'm sure the dudes at Freeview could get rid of the less popular channels that nobody watches to free up space. They could just bite the bullet and get rid of the new BBC Scotland channel because it's abysmal and the viewing figures are atrocious. There was never a great demand for the channel in the first place - it was just political interference from the SNP Gov who view the BBC as bias and anti Scottish, which it can be at times.

[diddlydo]

Stop moaning - the BBC only shows a week at Queens and 2 weeks of Wimbledon per year for tennis fans. Compare that to boring football/golf/darts etc coverage.

[tonyav]

Strange that, I find tennis extremely boring. Should be on BBC 3 imo.
