And they are still persisting in showing the same event on 2 of the 4 available channels.
Of course I'm not joking. The BBC are terrible at sport these days whilst Sky are superb. I guess it's a case of you get what you pay for.
And they are still persisting in showing the same event on 2 of the 4 available channels.
Why are you comparing it to Eurosport? When they're broadcasting a sport, of course they have commentary, they only have 2 channels. The BBC service is a completely different thing, they're broadcasting a lot of different things at once, they physically can't have dedicated commentary on everything they're showing, it's not practical. As for the mute button, it would spoil the crowd atmosphere a little bit I fear, but thanks for the suggestion.
I'm comparing them to Eurosport because they manage to fill dead air in breaks in play. BBC aren't capable. They do have dedicated commentary for the sports, at least the bits I've seen. Not sure what you are banging on about there?
The American broadcaster (NBC I think) have 2500 staff working, BBC 700. Says it all.
Please explain.you're a joy aren't you
Your expectations are ridiculous. You're comparing NBC and BBC now? How on earth can you think that's a reasonable comparison, considering the massive difference in funding.
Please explain.
I'm loving these Olympics, and am enjoying plenty of different sports.
I just feel a little cheated by having the least available to me.
While then having 25% of that limited coverage taken away because the same event is being shown twice.
Why can't they just put some weightlifting or fencing or something on.
No you don't get that on Freeview, even after a rescan.Do you not have red button options that give you all 24 options i am checking now (make me switch off women handball game)
I swear its not like the world cup, you will never leave the house again until August the 13th....
Well firstly because they are covering the same event.
Secondly, if you go back to my original point the BBC were never going to be able to do it justice because they can't compete financially. Sky would have been able to.
Err not being able to see itWhats not to like
