built 656 days ago
Sports fans know Italy won this summer’s World Cup, but British media execs ... know that the hands-down winner in their own world was the BBC.

Here is an ideal opportunity to use BBC's funds,originally ear-marked for the FA,to cover a host of sports which seldom are televised. Swimming, Diving, Sprint cycling, Fencing,Equestrian sports, Volleyball, Badminton, Hockey,Yachting,Athletics, Weight Lifting, Martial Arts, etc.. In China these sports, including Football,are given massive television coverage each week on a dedicated TV channel. The BBC should be bold and open the eyes of children to sports other than Premiership football, Snooker, and the London Marathon.

BBC Scotland shows highlights of all Scotland home matches, with some live away games often being shown by them under the Sportscene Live banner. Some of these broadcasts go out to the full network as part of Match of the Day, typically with a separate production. The BBC showed Scotland and Wales' home matches until the Scottish FA and the FAW both signed deals with Sky Sports. Sky will ... have the right to broadcast Northern Ireland's home matches from 2008, having bought the rights from BBC Northern Ireland, who held them for 20 years.[4] In recent years, BBCi has offered select live internationals not shown across the UK on BBC channels or Sky.
