“Our” BBC? Really?

No reason why either of us should be prioritised over the other, but it is the sport that always takes precedence, and if you rarely watch TV you aren't providing the viewing figures for the commercial channels that pay (via ads) for the sport. As I said, that doesn't apply to BBC though.

"Today at Wimbledon" is NOT live sport ,but a look back at or summary of the day's play.
Like Match of the Day or Test Match Special are or were. Is it really unfair to prioritise a repeat of eg Upstart Crow over something topical?

And why shouldn’t mine for tennis that is only two weeks of the year? Cant please everyone. I watch very little TV anyway but look forward to Wimbledon.

It is only two weeks of the year not like soaps etc.

It is indeed a pretty poor substitute and I am not happy about it.

But why should your preference for watching live sport trump mine for watching something else?

But why should someone wanting to watch (eg) tennis take priority over someone who regularly watches (eg) Eastenders?

Both are just a viewing preference, and both people pay the same for their licence. It's slightly different on ITV where the regular viewers subsidise the sport by increasing viewing figures and bringing in advertisers all year round, but even there sport takes precedence. I don't understand the logic.

Streaming is the process of receiving digital images and sound. All TV is streamed whether it’s watched live or on demand and has been for the last 13 year.
You know what I mean so no need to be so dismissive
My point is that for those who may for whatever reason not be able to watch the tennis ‘live”, late at night is a pretty poor substitute when other less topical programmes are given superior billing.
It was also nothing to do with the number of hours of sports coverage.

Wimbledon coverage:

Monday 30 June

BBC1
Four hours coverage from 14:00 to 18:00.
Break for News.
Three hours coverage from 19:00 to 22:00.

BBC2
Eight and half hours of coverage from 10:30 to 19:00.
An hour of highlights from 23:55 to 0:55.

Sixteen and a half hours of coverage

Tuesday 1 July

BBC1
Four hours coverage from 14:00 to 18:00.
Break for News.
Three hours coverage from 19:00 to 22:00.

BBC2
Eight hours of coverage from 10:30 to 19:00.
An hour of highlights from 23:00 to 0:00.

Sixteen hours of coverage.

The News is bound to have some highlights too.

The online digital schedules don’t go beyond next Tuesday but I suspect it’s much of the same for two weeks.

Sixteen hours a day - a third of the output on the two main BBC channels. Continuous coverage from 10:30 in the morning to 22:00 at night plus highlights just an hour later is more than enough.

Seems plenty to me!

I'd rather have sport streamed as interrupt regular programmes so that people who watch them all year round have to find other ways to watch to accommodate a football match or whatever. Why shouldn't sports fans be the ones being inconvenienced?

Ideally, a BBC Sport channel that screened things live would be great, but I guess that's too expensive.

Wimbledon 30th June

Has Wimbledon even started?

Does this happen in cricket, football too. They seem to be on all the time? The only sport I watch is tennis so I don’t take much notice of the others.
I was happy with the coverage of Queens but I do have iPlayer and didn’t give any thought to those who don’t have it.
