Yes, it's a pity that sports coverage is so concentrated on so few sports. That was the good thing about 'Grandstand', which was on the BBC every Saturday afternoon. We got to see horse racing, wrestling, tenpin bowling and so on. I am really surprised that none of the terrestrials do this now, concentrating on those sports that do not get saturation coverage on Murdoch's sports channels. I am sure there is an audience for it.
