By that argument all premiere sports events should be on BBC1 - but they are not. ITV have some, Sky have some...it shouldn't matter a jot what channel the tennis is on. If it has a place on the schedule leave it be, instead of throwing it all over the place in an attempt to boost ratings.
Nights like these will form a key part of the next rights bidding for Wimbledon by the BBC, and in my view these are the big point the Beeb can use in negotiations... |

Pardon my french, but so it ****ing should - this is a Brit in the premiere world tennis competition, it has a place on BBC One more than virtually any other programme this evening
This situation happened a couple of years ago (Mon/Wed/Fri). As I hinted earlier, the schedule switches really added to the sense of occasion and pulled in the viewers. 1 WIMBLEDON 2009 (MON 1857) - 8.55m 2 EASTENDERS (FRI 1959) - 7.82m 3 WIMBLEDON 2009 (SUN 1331) - 7.17m 4 EASTENDERS (THU 1928) - 7.00m 5 WIMBLEDON 2009 (FRI 1344) - 6.31m 6 BBC NEWS (MON 2244) - 5.92m |

It's the British way!

The Guardian (on how long play can continue to...)
"Any match originally scheduled for the Centre Court will normally be completed and if necessary the roof closed for reasons of light as well as rain." Merton Council said "the noisy air conditioning" is the reason for the 11pm cut-off and that residents' associations were consulted. |

Try reading what I actually said.
The 11pm curfrew would make your proposal of an evening session hard to handle as a match starting at 7pm could easily run past 11pm, thus making the evening session meaningless. Who wants to watch a match for 4 hrs and not see the conclusion? - which would take place at 1pm once most people are at work... |

Fudd you know we'll disagree on this point, but given the BBC only has rights to some sports (F1, Tennis, Six Nations), in my view all the big ties from those events should be on BBC One. The call a few weeks ago for the F1 was the wrong one in my view, it should have been one One, however the nature of Case Histories (i.e. a 2 parter) made the choice harder.
Nights like these will form a key part of the next rights bidding for Wimbledon by the BBC, and in my view these are the big point the Beeb can use in negotiations...

To be fair ive seen more coverage of tennis on the BBC this last year than previously, i actually think of all Murray's matches should be primetime BBC1 but thats my opinion.

Why didn't the BBC shove EastEnders on BBC1 after the tennis.
The sound and Picture is crap on BBC2 EastEnders at 9:00pm and My family at 9:30pm are they really that Thick? |

In theory QoS: Wimbledon special should get 0 viewers. We will see tonight how many people are incapable of using the remote!

I wouldn't mind that - as long as they planned in advance (say schedule all of the Wimbledon primetime matches on BBC1) rather than making it up as they go along.
How can you justify wasting a potentially key sporting moment of the year on a secondary channel. People are morons, an event on BBC One WILL get more viewers than BBC two as viewers an incapable of determining what a big match is, they need some guidance |

The tennis could go on until 11pm...that's result in the BBC3 episode being the first airing.
![]() Talking about BBC3, the 10pm episode could see a very good figure tonight - pushing 2m maybe? Alot of people on the soaps forum missed half of it and the thing is the BBC leave things so late. I understand that the Tennis should be shown on BBC1 but i don't see why the BBC's flagship show should be moved to BBC2 at last minute |

First look BBC3
I like it for the Launch of BBC3. Thing is due to the BBC making last minute changes People have missed EastEnders People's recordings are messed up People would have missed Corrie due to EastEnders late finished. Clearly they haven't thought about the viewers at all |

Let's try to get back to ratings and leave the squabbles to the soaps forums?
How do we think the Tennis will rate and what about EE? I'll guess at 6m for each, although the tennis will depend on how close/long the match is. It could build. |
