All of them could have been shown by the BBC IN those regions or back to back on BBC 1 nationally. Instead the England game gets shown nationally, in ALL regions and no other game does.
In the event it wasnt too bad because Sky picked them up, which is Ok for me as i have Sky and the sports channel needed to view it (a subsciption service) but what about the millions that dont and still pay their fees? I suppose we souldnt care about them...
The amount of people represented by those countries as i aready explained is irrelevant as we all pay our fees and this is the BRITISH broadcasting company, not the English broadcasting company and who's charter is :-
"To provide, as public services, sound and television broadcasting services (whether by analogue or digital means) and to provide sound and television programmes of information, education and entertainment for general reception in Our United Kingdom of
Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and the territorial waters thereof."
It says nothing about proportional representation.

I resent that - i have been VERY careful in what i have said and have not once to my knowledge personally attacked or even said anything deflamatory about the English people.
That was not my intention and if i did come accross that way i appologise now.
