Shame! Indicates that the majority have no interest in football.Some 24.2 million people (peak) and 22.3 million (average) watched the match across BBC and ITV across all device types, which considering the UK population is 67million is not an insignificant number.
Have you discounted those not able to view football for whatever reason? ๐ More than watched the Coronation too.Shame! Indicates that the majority have no interest in football.![]()
Should be asking the question whether those figures discounted those that had no choice except to watch?Have you discounted those not able to view football for whatever reason? ๐ More than watched the Coronation too.

Far better than the number of people who elected 410 individuals two weeks ago๐คช๐๐Some 24.2 million people (peak) and 22.3 million (average) watched the match across BBC and ITV across all device types, which considering the UK population is 67million is not an insignificant number.
What about Glastonbury? Surely if you did not wish to watch there were multitudinous other channels, plus streaming services. I didnโt find Glastonbury any encroachment on our viewing as apart from other channels we also have a good number of interesting recordings to watch, and we can skip ads too from commercial channels.Ref the BBC one word Glastonbury!
All this time I thought we had 650 such individuals ๐ฑFar better than the number of people who elected 410 individuals two weeks ago๐คช๐๐
It always fascinates me how people who claim they show no interest in football yet feel the need to comment on it when it's discussed on internet forums. It's actually quite comical.
WE enjoy football, they are the English team WE (as in my family who were watching and enjoying the game together) are English hence I feel quite comfortable using that term.
If you really feel it's been rammed down your throat I would suggest you need to make use of the many channels that are available that don't cover it.
HTH.
If you care to read my post more carefully you will see that I did not make ANY comment about the football game itself,
What I did comment on, and find comical, was the fact you (like a lot of others tend to do) said "we" played well, when you clearly not part of the England team, and were not anywhere near the field of play so had nothing to do with the game whatsoever,
So what you should have said/meant was that the team (i.e. they) and not you (we) played well.
I do watch alternative channels, I just get a bit annoyed when "regular" programmes on mainstream TV get moved, or cancelled, to accommodate the footy, that a fair percentage of the population, such as me, are totally disinterested in.
I just question why sporting events cannot be shown on the "lesser" channels (BBC/ITV 3/4 that tend to have lower "mainstream" content, and therefore watchers.
Ah yes to watch the Tour De France๐ค๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ.Donโt worry you will soon be affected by the Olympics and para Olympics. Time to go abroad perhaps!
Better get a move on as it finishes on Sunday ๐ซ๐ท๐ฅ๐ฉ๐ดโโ๏ธAh yes to watch the Tour De France๐ค๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ.
I think you have got that wrong when you say a fair percentage of the population when possibly it should be the majority of the population have no interest in football. Again it is a minority that are in control.

I think many of the posts are humorous wind ups and with tongue in the cheek comments? That is the way I took them and I also responded accordingly.Ironically hardly any football is shown on terrestrial TV. Most throughout the season features on Sky associated channels. Eg TNT, Sky Sports, etc.
BBC and ITV canโt compete on price.
Surely for a few weeks every four years itโs not worth getting upset over the Euros.๐ฅฒ

After all horse racing and tennis are other sports that get regular programs displaced. I have no interest in either of those sports. However there are a few Olympic sporting events that I enjoy watching, but I do not expect regular programs to be changed.
As suggested why cannot they use BBC3, BBC4, ITV2, ITV3 etc for broadcasting certain sport events that are of interest to a minority of the population?
Certainly some were tic but some were quite adversarial.I think many of the posts are humorous wind ups and with tongue in the cheek comments? That is the way I took them and I also responded accordingly.

No but regular programmes like soap, news do get shuttled around to accommodate some sporting events. But I can live with that for what is really only a minor inconvenience for a small part of the year. We regularly record programmes and watch from the recorder. This accommodates the frequent and random phone calls from family during the evenings.Having never watch any soaps on TV, I cannot comment on them, but other programs do not get cancelled or moved to accommodate a soap.

At no time did I say that programs should only be shown if the majority watch them so not sure why you think that? Why can't the sporting events be held on the other BBC or ITV channels?I don't watch them either. But that's not the issue. You argued that programs should only be shown if the majority of the population would watch them. Your argument simply doesn't hold water.
The reason other programs don't get moved to accomodate soaps is because there is normally no need to, because they run in series with regular slots.
Major sporting events do not.
