Track World Championships on TV

[zacklaws]

I don't know if its been mentioned anywhere on the forums, if so, I've failed to spot it, but tonight after watching dismal programmes and just about to go to bed, I flicked through the channels and on CH301 was the world track championships from Apledoorn in Holland and just saw the last 30 minutes. Its also on tommorow night, forgot what time already, might be 1630.
Also on the 25th its on again on BBC2

And also on the 26th is Paris - Nice on ITV4

The last two dates need confirming as I have a memory span of a goldfish.

I set the recorder to record 4 programmes, so I have another date missing, possibly track again on the 26th

Just had a look at BBC twitter page, today seems to have been the first day and not much has been missed up to now. Maybe between now and Sunday when it finishes we may reap some Golds, but I saw no reference to it being on TV on Friday

Here's link to official webpage:-

Well it was a waste of time watching it yesterday, got home last night to watch what I had recorded during the day off BBC1 I think, just to find it was almost highlights from the track and interviews for the past 3 days that I had seen and despite live racing going on in the background of the presenter, it took over an hour before they showed a live race from Saturday. So what racing did go on yesterday? I bet football fans would not stand for it if there was a live match on TV, but they showed mainley past matches and interviews throughout the game. If they wanted a highlights programme, why not have a seperate programme at some other time.


Angry person, at work, and had to get up early cos clocks have gone forward and got up before the birds did

This page is useful, and is usually accurate but doesn't always take account of late schedule changes..

Explained in todays broadcast, not a Eurosport problem, the host broadcaster (French) feed failed. Can't do much without the basic material!
