To wish sport would fuck off BBC1 tonight

[Sallystyle]

So I can watch The Voice and Casualty?

It's always the bloody programmes I like to watch that are messed around with. Even if my programmes are a bit shit!

They should make a 'normal' channel for sports.

Ok, could they make one for soaps and for shitty 'talent' and reality shows too then because I personally hate those, therefore they shouldn't be allowed on when I want to watch TV.

Seriously though, it is a bit weird that adults can't find other ways to occupy themselves when they don't want to watch what is on TV.

Yep, either way would work. I wouldn't mind a shite TV channel, but I would probably put a lot of programmes in that category that others love.

Of course I can occupy myself without TV! We didn't have one out of choice for years and I don't watch much TV as it is really. I'm not sure where anyone said they can't manage to occupy themselves. Not the end of the world or anything, quite lighthearted really but didn't feel the need to put that in the title as I thought it would be obvious.

yanbu
not only do they prioritise some sports......but the whole day is full of adds for it

I think previously it could have been a good idea but realistically there's not enough sports on a single channel like BBC or ITV to warrant one abs with cuts to the BBC meaning BBC three has gone it's not feasible, one other perspective though is a lot of these sports have been on annually for years before casualty or the voice so it could be argued that it is the regular programming

Of course we can occupy ourselves but its annoying if you are looking forward to your programmes and the schedule changes

Shorter version and kinda In response to MrsJayy:

These have been on annually for years before casualty or the voice was thought of so technically, they are the normal schedule

Seriously though, it is a bit weird that adults can't find other ways to occupy themselves when they don't want to watch what is on TV.

What a weird thing to say.

I'd been looking forward to Casualty all day, that's all.

I can find other stuff to do, I can talk to my husband, I just don't want to!

The Voice is on tonight.
Be prepared for rescheduling during June and July when Euro 2016 is on.

I don't watch The Voice or Casualty but I agree with the sentiment.

Two episodes of Shetland, which finished its run recently, were postponed because of fecking sport. It was only six episodes, it was very tense and twisty and each episode finished on a cliffhanger or a point of intrigue. And we had to wait two bleeding weeks for the resolution. TWICE!

No interest in Rugby, The Voice or Casualty so not upset.

Casualty has been on every fucking week forever. Can't it please stop?

Im a sport on TV hater too, so am with you all the way here OP! Piss off

eastmids mummy

Casualty has been on every fucking week forever.

Well, it wasn't on this week.

I fucking hate that sport has to take a number 1 slot on tv. Who bloody says so? I don't!

I don't think sport has a number 1 slot. I imagine if you add up the hours devoted to reality TV and soaps they would outnumber sport.

Why do they put it on BBC1 I wonder? It seems odd to push out popular programmes on BBC1 when I imagine that programmes on BBC2 are perhaps less popular. Surely it makes no difference whether it is on 1 or 2.

Also I would imagine the viewership for sport outnumbers that of casualty

Thank god for that ilovesooty! They put it on BBC1 due to a man being in charge

The Euros are on BBC and ITV

Thank god I have sky then! Hate sport and hate adverts. Sky is a marvellous thing so it is.

Big sporting events get big viewing figures.
I imagine the higher the viewing figures a channel gets, the more funding it receives.

Casualty has been on every fucking week forever. Can't it please stop?

Yes! Send Casualty to casualty. And then pull the plug on the life support machine. Absolute shit that it is.
