Why they do not put the tennis continually on BBC2, and all the other
programs on BBC1 I do not know. I do not think anybody at the BBC will
know either, they have done it for so long that the person who no doubt
initially did it for good reason will have long since moved to different
pastures.

Now at the news start time of 17:55 this evening we had three tennis
matches being transmitted simultaneously. One on BBC1, one on BBC2, and
one on BBCi. Please tell me how a tennis enthusiast can watch three
matches at the same time.

I have made a formal complaint about this to the BBC. Please do the
same, if enough people complain a miracle might happen and an
intelligent BBC official may read it.

At last! A thread I feel I can make a contribution to. (I've been
lurking for some considerable time.)

I have been complaining to the BBC about this for years, and I have
come to conclusion that "intelligent BBC official" is an oxymoron. A
similar problem occurred during Tim Hen Man's days, when his matches
were kept on BBC1, and scheduled BBC1 progammes were moved to BBC2 -
where tennis was scheduled. I suspect that the reason it's done is
that they think BBC1 gets a larger audience than BBC2, and they think
that the average tennis fan won't have the wit to change channels.

To be fair, they might very well be right!
