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!

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.

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
