I hadn’t realised that.
the BBC can show a maximum of two live events at one time, through one television channel and a second feed provided through the red button service and online. Everything else requires viewers to switch to Eurosport or Discovery+, meaning many sports are simply not covered live by the BBC.
I wonder if there is something like this going on here in Canada as well. This morning there were four or five different channels showing the Olympic Games (CBC, RDS, more than one of the TSN channels) and all of them were showing USA vs France in Basketball!
