BBC Coverage - USUAL COMPLAINT

[bluewolf]

To be fair to Snelly the latest Dan Walker skit was just cringeworthy.

Yes, but the BBC isn't tasked with appealing to 1, or even 2 people. It's job is to appeal to as many people as possible, from as broad a range of backgrounds as possible.. It may fail more times times than it succeeds, but it's a noble ambition that should be applauded rather than mocked by those who think that they are the centre of the known (and unknown) Universe... :thup:

They're still out there playing and what are the BBC showing.. First night of the Proms, You can't even watch it via the red button.
All the staff there etc .. Total joke!

I'm just happy to have a sport I love watching free to air, I cannot afford sky so I can forgive the BBC anything as long as they show some golf.

Actually the side bits are entertaining enough so no complaint here.

Marvellous, Considering they haven't managed to televise it before 9:00 am before the cut I'll look forward to seeing Peter Alliss having his Coco Pops :thup:

I watched the coverage today from start to finish. The Dan sketches were a bit odd but i'd rather have a handful of them in 13 hours of coverage than adverts every 10 minutes.

Well said. I agree. Where we differ is that you seem to think that their noble ambition should extend to attracting complete dildo's who think Dan Walker is entertaining when it comes to attracting people to watch the golf. This is wrong. Golfers should be the target audience and golfers in my view, should be viewing the empty headed waffle from Dan as what it is - a vehicle for his ego and a tick in a box for BBC management.


This is my last post on this thread. And quite possibly this forum for a while.

Sad that this thread is double the size of the one talking about the actual golf.

Why?

It's not only golfers who pay their TV license fee.

I don't play tennis or ever watch it bar Wimbledon every year. Sue Barker doesn't talk tennis all day, she diversifies too for the general audience. There is a big varied window outside your comfort zone!

Stop posting on it then.

The irony in this one post is amazing. It should win an award for irony. World irony champion (except in the USA where they think irony is the same as bad luck).

What a thread - truly staggering.

I'm really struggling to find the word that can sum it all up

Yesterday - 10 hours in an 11 hour show - live golf and one hour of filling in

Today they ran through to just before 10 PM showing non stop golf

The BBC attempt to appeal to "everyone" - golfers, casual golf fans , sports fans plus anyone who just happens to turn over - that's just about the perfect mix and not one single advert to be seen.

Yet someone is that arrogant and self centred to believe the program should be aimed at one set of people only !?! Just unbelievable - got to be a wind up.

Understand it's the biggest viewing figures for a golf event this year. Shame that will be reduced from 2017

100% with you Liverpool Phil.

If it is a wind up is that not against the forum rules that I've just read?

Hang on, Snelly flounces off stage left, and suddenly you're back posting Phil?

Coincidence? Has anyone ever seen these two in the same room?

On the original topic, I have loved the coverage. The occasional cringeworthy snippet but I don't care because I've had golf on my TV all day.
