Not sure why they are fighting, I can understand football rights, but waste of a day watching cricket on tv

Many cricket fans would disagree with you.

I wish BT or Sky would go after 'Wimbledon' to get it off BBC One and BBC Two every day.

Why do they broadcast on both channels when they have five red button channels!

Even buying homes or games shows is better than Tennis.

Suspect that will never happen. i think they view that as one of the crown jewels. Tories would be in revolt.

I agree regarding wimbledon and it`s disruption of the tv schedules. My argument with it is why not put all the matches on BBC2 and BBC3 only leaving BBC1 free to show the normal schedule

The reason why they put all their sport on BBC 1 is because it pads out the schedule quite considerably on BBC 1 and thus that's why they won't change it.

If it wasn't for sport on TV I think I'd be in the funny farm by now.
Hail all sports channels.

Ps:Game of thrones was good though.
