Wimbledon is among the events that have to be offered live to channels available in 95% of home, which means anything Freeview now. The Open is category B, where only highlights have to be offered.

Thanks for that list. I knew there was a list of sorts.

 

When you look at it how long can the BBC fund the Six Nations? That looks most at risk.

 

 

Worth noting the rules don't guarantee those events will be on free TV. They only guarantee that the free channels get the right to bid for it. If BBC and ITV and the like didn't put in a bid, they'd then be offered to pay broadcasters.

 

At the risk of going further off-topic, I still reckon there's a chance that one year Sky will bid for the Match of the Day package, stick it on Pick TV and try to make the cash back through the ad break.

Not necessarily. Apart from the BBC channels and the Digital 3 & 4 multiplex (which includes ITV, ITV2, C4, E4, More4, Film 4 & Channel 5) which have about 99% coverage of the UK, the remaining channels on the other three commercial multiplexes are only officially available to around 90-91% of homes (not including the local and the temp HD multiplex that has BBC News HD, 4Seven HD, Arise News etc. which have even less coverage). However if one of those channels is on both Freeview & Freesat (if it's on Freesat, it'll likely be on Sky as well) then they'll probably be able to say that they cross the 95% threshold.

There was at one point talk of the Six Nations games involving Wales being protected in Wales.

Coming from a Welsh uni I can imagine how much uproar that would cause if those games were lost.

I'm Welsh and I wish they were.

Chyna implying Triple H is now a paedo, following her claims he's a woman beater.

She's a total fucking mess. Austin should never have brought her name up in that interview, because thick cunts like Vince Russo jumped all over it and now Chyna is trying to be relevant again.

Did anyone see the Wrestling porno where she has a threesome with Vince and Steph before doing a gangbang scene while getting fucked off Mean Gene Okerlund? She's clearly been doing the gimmicks during it. The gangbang scene she's so fucking out of it that you can see the Ric Flai, Doink, Cena et al getting really quite annoyed with the slurring mess. They shouldn't have let her do the scene to be honest. It looked like a gang date rape.
