Newbornbairn Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 This pisses me off. Their "live" coverage isn't telly, it's radio and a severely lagging website. I missed the England Scotland rugby match because it said they had live coverage but it was the same. Often under coverage it says "Sky Sports 1" or "BT Sports", but I never thought to check ITV. It's this belief the BBC have that they're in competition with ITV that pisses me off. They're not, they're the state tv channel funded through the licence fee. They seem to think they have to do everything they can to "steal" viewing figures from ITV and will do copycat programming to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They had some kind of monopoly on future TV listings which is why people had to buy them (I think newspapers only carried that day's listings and the Evening News only had that night's and next day's listings up until noon or something). The Conservative Government actually took longer than you would think to change the regulations (early 90s?) and that's when other listings magazines like TV Quick started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Being obliged to tell kids that their slow storybook readings or attempts at playing instruments are 'very good'. In an ideal world, telling them that they're still rubbish would encourage them to practice more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
