The Americanisation of the BBC

Because it's prohibitively expensive to purchase the rights to home-grown sports....broadcasters are switching to purchasing content from other countries that are considerably cheaper.
The coverage I had of English sport when I was living abroad was miles better than you can get here!

I don't watch it but it's a huge event and they only cover it once a year I guess?
I mean, I'd rather the BBC drop local TV/radio and put the saved bandwidth towards increasing the main freeview/freesat HD channel quality instead of having all those local SD channels clogging things up, but people's opinions differ

Rugby was all over the BBC the other day when it was actually on, they also have a specific rugby section, Superbowl was last night and is more relevant to front pages.
Another nothing whinge about the BBC.

So are a hundred other home grown sports that we used to get on TV, CycloCross, Trial riding, Wrestling (ok it was crap but my gran loved it), hill climbs, instead of supporting cack like the superbowl they should be spending money on home grown sports and coverage,

I'm sure the CycloCross world championship buts on a better show and attracts a bigger audience than the Superbowl every year, you're so right!

Why did the BBC showcase Andrew Neil when he is such a right wing nutjob and now heading up the GB news site which promises to Fox News look like CNN.
Considering I have never heard of those except Wrestling, and also Im sure none of them have their own networks, which means BBC would have to put a Crew together to go and set everything up, for sports people haven't heard of, nah, they arnt even in the same realm of soemthing like Superbowl.
What views does he espouse that makes you call him a "right wing nutjob"?

Do you mean Horse Trials?
I suspect that that has a VERY limited audience.

Sport is global now, we are no longer a tiny insignificant island with little news of the outside world. We are now just a tiny insignificant island.
