This should be ring fenced, but the government love Murdoc. What next Wimbledon, World Cup?

Sky will do a fantastic job on it, no doubt about that.

So no live golf any more , unless you pay for it . Surely it's time for the bbc to have a sports channel . We pay an awful lot for a tv license , yet we hardly have any live sport anymore on the BBC . Either that or abolish the license fee and if you want sport you can pay for it rather than paying for the PC rubbish which they put on the TV or churn out on the radio .
As for putting on the highlights , golf is one game you have to watch live or all you watch is golfers putting , which is boring . I love watching the open and have so since I was teenager , I used to have Sky and watch there coverage of golf , not bad but a lot of adverts .
What is the point of the BBC anymore , it does not give value for money , it has its own left winged agenda , i can't think of one programme I would stay in to watch on the BBC , I think it's time to let the BBC to finance itself now and see how it does

You pay for live golf at the moment, as indeed you state.
This thread is better - it got the name right.

Word is that the BBC have got the rights for the first ever world dogging championships, live from Epping forest, and will be showing it instead of the golf.
Presenters are Stan Collymore and Katie Price, no word on the pundits yet though.

Aaaah well. Sh1t 'appens. Maybe the few that brilliantly and defiantly avoid paying the Licence Fee might want to contribute?

No more of this then from Aliss. Thank god.
'Ho Ho, well viewers, I need to mention if I may, Alfie McTavish. Alfie is 90 years young tomorrow but the old boy hasn't been down the 19th hole since he had his spleen removed last week. We are all wishing you well old fellow especially as there are women and darkies on the club waiting list. We need to keep them out of Sunningdale as long as possible so get well soon. Right. Rory has got this 6 footer for the open'

Not sure that's true, the BBC still have the ladies open so top class golfing action will still be on free to air TV...........I am sure that will help dry the eyes of those crying at this excellent news.

The home Test matches were protected once too and look what happened to them. This is bad news for me as I'll get to watch next to none of my favourite sports anymore.
