That's a very good point and surely there must be a sensible reason for it

you'd think so. but its not a new thing, its always happened, its a prestige thing to have coverage on BBC1 and they like to put the few event that they have there.

I have been thinking this for some time now. What's wrong with BBC2 everybody can receive it.

I don't get this "prestige" thing. They are just two different channels from the same broadcaster. And Brian Cox seems to have been "promoted" from BBC2 to BBC1.
BBC2 has been around for long enough now, and we all have remote controls. Surely it mucks up recorders?

Yeah, the same thing has been happening all these years, but the Beeb never seem to explain why.

Yes! I had it on to record the One Show because it had a piece on the F35. And its gone and recorded Wimbledon!
At least I can catch up on Iplayer, but that's not the point.

We were watching the program Undercover a while back, then the last episode was knocked on two weeks later for another program.
I cannot even remember what it was for, but it makes you mad, when get into a series then you have to wait a bit longer.
Now when these type of series are on, we record the whole lot, makes it easier.

its daft, but its the channel with "1" in it, so it must be the flagship channel.
the link above mentions ratings chasing. it seems eqully daft that people will simply have BBC1 (or ITV1) by default and therefore whatever is there gets higher audience figures.

These "audiences" must be asleep or brain dead!

Why not just throw the coverage over t the red button and keep the scheduled programmes where they are
