It’s unbelievable, not only were we subjected to athletics, rugby and formula one on three of the main channels on a Saturday evening at peak times, tonight at peak times, we have to suffer athletics, rugby, football and as a special treat highlights of last night’s formula one. All usual programs have been dropped, so it’s hard luck if you’re not a sports fan. I’m lucky as I have other channel options but feel sorry for those who have no other choices and don’t like sport.
Well, I can't speak for the OP, but I have a couple of hundred channels to choose from, not to mention three different streaming services. I can't see how anybody can whine about a lack of choice.
I agree, lots of sports on tv. I have lots of channels, but not too many of the programmes are much good. Had a Columbo day, but had enough of that too. And Wales lost yesterday.
Fuming that they took the final of DOI off air for football ! ITV have several channels, surely either could have been moved to another of those channels ?? Ant & Dec was taken off last night for rugby. When it was announced on the show last week, the studio audience boo'd - good for them ! I regard Saturday and Sunday TV as escapism entertainment to just wallow in. Far too much sport on mainstream channels and heaven help us when the world cup starts in earnest !! I agree with with you Netty.
I was enjoying The Great Australian Bake-off on more4 Sunday nights...until it suddenly vanished. I've discovered that it's been moved to Saturday and Sunday at 9am...whyyyyyyy?? Because of all the other weekend breakfast cookery programs? It's the only reason I can think of.
Resorted to Netflix and BBC documentary about the NhS history over the weekend, apart from F1 yesterday (which we are not so interested in now the rules have changed.)
We've no interest in other sports.
Ant and Dec are an absolute no no. Have been for years and years. We really can't understand their popularity.
I agree there are lots of Freeview channels and others to watch but rarely find anything interesting and they are mainly old and repeated. OH watches a lot of Yesterday stuff and boring programs about car engines and aircraft, and after I disappear to bed.
Even AB offered nothing but a long verbsl fight about the current war and boring stuff!! ;0((
