I have mentioned this in passing before, but I winder if the BBC have any plans to start a sports channel.

Not for Premiership football etc, but for other sports that don't get much exposure on other channels.

Yesterday, I spent a fair amount of time watching the athletics live on Eurosport whilst the BBC spent their time showing songs of praise.

Other sports I was thinking about ... cross country athletics, judo, fencing ... you get the idea.

Appreciate it would cost to start up, but then at least they would not have to keep switching programs from channel to channel at Wimbledon time!
