Sky news had some stuffy journo ("apparently a young man called Usher's on later, he's very popular with today's youth") whilst BBC 2 has Trevor Nelson and Paul Gambaccini, two of the most knowledgable music broadcasters in the BBC. So I went with the latter.
unless there was subliminal messages saying watch watch watch (did i spell it right, or even say it right)
The schedule was altered on a number of occasions for Wimbledon over the past couple of weeks. I don't have a problem with the changes to accommodate either of these events.
Is that out of choice or is your area not currently covered by Freeview until the switchover.
Both BBC News and BBC Two ran uninterrupted coverage, but with two separate commentary teams.
AFAIK the pictures were the same on every channel, just with different commentaries.
Thanks for that. Unnecessary to take over two channels. Other events were going on yesterday, 7/7 memorial and the premier of the new Harry Potter movie. All equally important in their individual way.
Thank you.
That's correct.;):cool:
I only caught the 1st 15mins or so PG & TN were hilarious. They were trying to fill in the huge gaps while everything got going. PG was talking in hushed reverential tones and spouting random sales figures of records. The best bit was after a period of nothing happening TN says apparently this is actually meant to be a moment of silence for MJ. So PG says lets have some silence here as well then and then after about 5 secs a producer must have said we can't have this just broadcasting not saying anyting so TN pipes up again with another inane comment!
I'm not a great fan of certain BBC programmes, but I don't go complaining. I just turn over.
Exactly. It was a one-off, on for about 2 hours. It didn't disrupt the schedules for weeks on end like Wimbledon does. If you don't like tennis (like me) you just find something else to watch while it's on, surely they could have found something else to watch for all of 2 hours?
It was a big event, loads of people would have been watching, they probably wanted in on the event and to poach as many viewers as possible - even if it's identical to what's being shown on other channels.
I was screaming SHUT THE **** UP at the TV but he wouldn't stop. :rolleyes:
