I have no idea why the BBC does this. There must be a better way of organising the schedules on each channel.
Wouldn’t it be better, for example, to put the Commonwealth Games on the red button instead of completely disrupting the normal schedules?

It wouldn’t, because doing so wouldn’t meet their public service obligation to adequately reflect national interests and cover major events in the life of the nation. It’s not an accident that showpiece events go on BBC1 and stuff that would otherwise be important enough for 1 get bumped to 2. There is a pecking order, and the channels’ names aren’t a coincidence.
