They show a lot of non-time limited live events (eg. tennis) which does mean that they don't run to schedule very often.

Perhaps they need two channels, Eurosport and Eurosport Live.

F*CKING IDIOTS

They were completely on schedule. The cycling finished at 22:15 ish. So instead of showing the Rallying. They decide to put on some interview with a Cameroon Football player for 15 mins, then repeat the News report from an hour earlier.Then some sh*te about the GReek olympics. So they're now 45 mins behind. Both these programmed were not due to be on, so anyone who would have liked to have seen tham will not have even know they were!

Noticed during the rallying that the "African Nations Cup" was cancelled. If they hadnt sodded about they wouldnt have needed to!

I actually missed Day 2 on Saturday because it wasnt on at the right time.

What annoys me is that when Eurosport are at an Event. Like the Rally coverage, the WSB or the MotoGP. Its actually very good normally. Its just getting to see the damn coverage

Not sure about this actual incident but generally I think programs miss their scheduled time because at some point in the day a live broadcast event has overrun and had a knock on effect.
PITA but at least they do continue to broadcast decent sport events (and you don't have to pay)

You're right and I can aprieciate (sp?) that Live events do over run. But they buggered themselves up all on their own on Sunday.

God only knows what happened on Saturday!
