View Full Version : UK TV, ALL ENGLAND Broadcasts johnboy 01-21-2002, 01:40 PM A very trustworthy friend at the BBC has just let slip that the All England is going to be shown on BBC this year, is this good news or what ? Valentino 01-21-2002, 02:40 PM kewl!! ^shaz^ 01-21-2002, 03:38 PM man thats excellent now jus tell me its shown on prime time...lol but yea thats great news...but its norm shown on eurosport neways...well for those who have sky/cable kwun 01-21-2002, 04:40 PM yes. it is indeed good news. i don't know how much of the British general public has cable/satellite, but i believe all households have BBC, and this will appeal to a much broader general public. now, who's going to record it and send me a tape??? UkPlayer 01-21-2002, 05:09 PM Depends on what you send in return?! Cheung 01-21-2002, 07:48 PM How many hours of last years All England did UK have broadcast? Just the highlights or the whole time on the TV court? Next All England 'may not' be so entertaining. Top Asian players from Indonesia, Malaysia, China may not be playing in preparation for the Thomas Cup. cooler 01-21-2002, 09:22 PM would AE go with 15x3 format? kwun 01-21-2002, 09:27 PM no. it is before the TC/UC. it is during the TC/UC that they will decide on the fate of 5x7. before then, they will continue with 5x7. cooler 01-21-2002, 11:36 PM . johnboy 01-22-2002, 02:41 AM Also even at this early stage the programing for the event has mostly been done so it is to late to change it. The Commonwealth Games in July will also follow the 5x7 format Dimo 01-22-2002, 04:30 PM It may be good news - it depends if they intend showing more than 5 minutes of any one match! Even if they do, will we see other "important" sports results coming up over the badminton scores all the time? Well, let's give them a chance. But don't hope for too much! johnboy 01-22-2002, 05:49 PM With a response like that can you wonder why they bloody bother chandra 01-23-2002, 04:40 AM it's always been broadcast on tv here in the UK (BBC or ITV) Dimo 01-25-2002, 05:38 PM Are you kidding, Chandra? The All England hasn't always been broadcast in the UK on BBC or ITV. What planet are you from? As for you 'johnboy' my response was realistic, not a condemnation of attempted coverage. johnboy 01-25-2002, 06:41 PM Point taken Dimo, but lets be realistic when cricket, rugby, and twennis from Wimbledon get 'headline scores, overprinted on their coverage, what hope has badminton that we will escape the same treatment. By the way, my informant tells me that the coverage we will get will be live or at the worst only one day old. Not bad for a sport supposedly in decline Cheung 01-25-2002, 09:09 PM So, can anybody tell me how much time was broadcast on TV last year for the AE? Or was it just highlights? johnboy 02-04-2002, 12:46 AM Further update from the 'friend' at the BBC. All England Broadcast will be live, on Finals day, Sunday. He was not sure how long for but thought it might be for about an hour, Apparently this is part of a deal linked in to the Comonwealth Games and will run for three years Bo 02-05-2002, 03:12 PM could somebody tell me when this thing is on ? Ive never seen badminton on tv before |
