You have to remember that the Beeb has to pay dearly for big sporting contracts. We get Premier League highlights, for example, but not full matches, because licence-payers would go doolally if the Beeb paid the billions that Sky and BT pay for the rights of things such as the Premier League, Champions League, test matches and stuff like that. Dunno who buys up the rugby because I haven't the faintest interest in any game played by men with oval balls. I have BT Sport mobile and Sky Sports mobile for my iPhone and iPad (not proper telly - can't afford it) because I'm a football loonie. Together, they cost about two-thirds of the BBC licence fee. I do watch a lot of matches though. Keeps me off Mudcat...
