Imagine the riots if it was significantly raised to facilitate keeping sport such as F1 exclusively on the BBC.
In fact, what would the raise required be to permit that? And premiership football? And the grand national? etc.
I enjoyed the Sky Coverage. Was it as good as the BBC? No, but what is? Was it better then ITV? Christ yes. It was extremely thorough too, and gave you the ability to red button through to timing screens and the like. For F1 geeks like me, heaven.
