To be shagged off with the BBC for switching the tennis channel all the time?

I left several matches on record over the past few days (carefully avoiding radio coverage lest I hear the result). I come home to watch the matches I'd left and find half-way through that "now, we're switching over our coverage to BBC2 etc".

Drives me potty. Why do they do this?

probably so they can show the news and Eastenders must be so annoying though sometimes if matches over run they swap over you can watch them on the red button ( i think)

YANBU. Bloody irritating!

Why can't they just show the other shows on the other channel? I| don't understand it, really I don't.

It's driving me insane. I try to watch whilst running about after the DCs and I can't follow anything, everytime I look at the TV its a different sodding match. Gah

They did put The One Show on BBC2 yesterday to stay with the Murray match.

Its not even the changing the channel
Because something else is coming on. It is switching matches to show another match. Why cant that match be shown on the other channel.

Very annoying, why can't they dedicate bbc2 to the main matches and use the red button for all other games?

They have just done it again with the andy murray match. Hmm

YANBU. It's so annoying. I gave up watching a match a few days ago for this reason.

SueDoku · 05/07/2013 21:44

Couldn't agree more - and I like the tennis..! It just seems so unnecessary when - as Tap said above - they could just put all the big matches on BBC2 and have no interruptions Angry
