The fact that apparently BBC1 and ITV1 are showing the exact same match at the same time tonight.
For f**k's sake.

But it only happens every couple of years. Every night we get two news at ten going out consecutively for half an hour. I don'y hear you bellyaching about that!
I think it demonstrates the futility and pointlessness of TV sport rather well. Why not show it on all 5 terrestrial channels. Or perhaps 20 or 30 on Sky?
Load of old shite.
Eurovision's only on once a year. Would you think it made sense to show that on 2 channels at once?

But you didn't respond to my point that the news is scheduled against each other day after day, and it's the same pre-packaged easily digestible pap on both sides.
And I personally quite like the drama of a big sporting event on the telly.

I'm not objecting to that though!
Just the stupid redundancy of showing it on 2 main channels at once.
The news doesn't last 3 and a quarter hours.

Yes, but both ITV and BBC have paid cajillions to cover this, and the final is the crowning jewel of their coverage. Who should not cover it?

No. it's just 250 hours every two years when they are cross-scheduled. Football: 3.25 hours every two years. I can see why you're annoyed.
Maybe they should have had a little chat before spunking all their money.
Or should I say our money in the case of the BBC. [/obligatory license fee mention]

Who rattled your cage.
Clearly the idea of me expressing that I am pissed off in the pissed off thread is unacceptable. Please accept my humble f**king apologies.
