Fed up with repeated clips. Be nice if they could show for example a tennis match that was on earlier instead of winning clips!!!

Too much sport altogether on the BBC. Whatever sport it is, it seems to take precedence over anything and everything else.

Firstly, if you think there's too much - don't put it on. (Similarly, if you think there's too much classical music on Radio Three, listen to something else).
Secondly, BBC is severely restricted to what they can show live - since the rights to live broadcasting of events was bought by another organisation.

BBC should have a dedicated sports channel.This should satisfy everyone.

I heard the other day the BBC previously had rights to broadcast 3,500 hours but now that Eurosport had spent millions on broadcast rights in Europe, the BBC has rights to only 350 (live?) hours.

I noticed that on the BBC News Channel, Olympic reports show only photos and no videos.

I don't - but I miss the programmes I usually watch because they're booted out in favour of sport.

Not seen any - I watch so little of the BBCs output these days that the licence fee seems a rip-off.

I don't watch any sport on tv, nobody in this household does but I don't object to the BBC covering the Olympics.

Some people love sport. Not everyone lives in ‘ soup world’ gone are the days when there were 4 tv channels to choose from. It on Every 4 years, hardly excessive .

Given that the BEEB no longer broadcast live cricket, F1, horseracing, etc, it's hardly surprising that when they can afford the rights to broadcast certain events, they do so to the max.
