I was watching live Moto GP on BBC2 earlier, and before the race had finished, the BBC cut off and went to a rugby match that was not even live! I am fumming.

What I can't get is that BBC think more people are interested in a re-run, if people wanted to watch this match they would have done so yesterday.

I have already e-mailed the BBC and complained, just wondering if anybody else was watching or had similar experiences, like ITV going to adverts on the last lap of a formula one race the other month, it gets me soooooo mad.
:mad:

The BBC Don't Exactly Give A S**t About The Viewers.They Know They're Guaranteed The Licence Fee Money Off You Every Year.

Whereas,With Sky Their Coverage On Sports Is Far Superior,Because They Know They Have To Please Their "Customers" Or They'd Cancel Their Subscriptions.

Although,It Was On ITV.Last Year,After The End Of The Champion's League Final,ITV Cut To Adverts After The Cup Had Been Presented.Sky On The Other Hand Stayed With The Live Pictures Of The Team Celebrating With Their Fans.

I Know ITV Get Their Money From The Advertisers,But This Is At The Expense Of The Viewer's Pleasure.Sky Also Get Money From Advertisers But At Least They Take Viewers Into Consideration.

If I re-arrange all the capital letters in your post does it make up a secret coded message?


Sky Sports have the air time to dedicate to events; it's what they do. Hence they don't have to cut away from/cram in events in a hurry. Although it's a pisser having to pay so much for it I wish all sports was on Sky cos their coverage is (usually) great.

Sky Sports is a winner and their results service has now been copied across the board. Having said that, they've still got the best pundits (with the exception of George Best who should be booted off) and best format.

Jeff Stelling is the king of Saturday afternoon and the antics of Chris Kamara - the Richard Whiteley of football coverage - are enough to brighten up any afternoon.

For the sports channels alone, Sky can have my £41 a month, no problem (though the idea of paying to watch what you've already paid to watch is over-egging the pudding).

And it all starts again in three days. Wahaaay!!!!:clap:

Completely Agree With Ya There,Ousetunes.

Just Hope One Day They Bring Back Rodney Marsh.
He's One Of The Few Pundits Who I Enjoy Listening To.Some Of His Appearances On "You're On Sky Sports" Were Priceless.

Bring Back,Marshy.Now. :clap:
