BBC coverage was superb

That's because the BBC is NOT a commercial network.

Commercial networks are in business to make a profit by selling
advertising time. Serving the audience is not their purpose.

Read Nicholas Johnson's _How to Talk Back to Your TV Set_.



And without competition, the rest of their programming is brain-dead.


And I suppose "Survivor", "Joe Millionaire", etal isn't Brain Dead????

(I think R's are brain-dead!)
Ok ITV ( the Uk commercial network) coverage was equally as good then only
the presenters were different
