I cannot see the BBC dropping Wimbledon,that's not to say other Channels may make a better offer to screen it in the future.
F1 has its fans,I am not one of them but think the BBC should keep that too.

I don't have to pay for one yet, but the thing that needs scrapping as to the BBC is the pathetic antiquated tax that is the TV LIcence,when I leave home for good after Uni and have to buy one of those I will begrudge every pence of it.
It is ridiculous to have to pay a licence fee every year for to have a TV in your home, it's like something from the dark ages.

The political party that ever pledges to get rid of that tax will be certain to get my vote.

Not that I watch Wimbledon but never in a million years would they get rid of it.
F1 seems like a more likely possibility but why would they do that when they could get rid of **** like Saints & Scroungers, So You Think You CAn Dance, Bargain Hunt, Cash in the Attic etc etc.

Not Homes Under The Hammer though, they must keep that!

Not paying Murdoch £50/m to watch something less quality than I've been doing before for free..

James 29-07-2011 03:28 PM

Half the live races going off free-to-air is no good at all. :( Formula 1 is one of the few things I still actually watch on TV at the moment.

King Gizzard 29-07-2011 03:35 PM

Apparently BBCthree costs way more than F1 does as well...and that's pretty much pointless most of the tiem

There's going to be no breaks in it I heard..

Another sport for sky sports, wish theyd just concentrate on football :(

It's stupid for people in the UK..... as long as im not affected I dont mind. Even if I was I wouldnt get Sky just to watch F1, id stream it, no way would i give them my money EVER.
