As kick off approaches on England verses the Netherlands in the semi final of UEFA 2024 I am sure I am in the minority when I say to TV executives across the UK, what about the rest of us. I don’t have cable TV so I have felt the full onslaught over the main channels with no refuge, not a massive tennis fan either and all my favourite shows either cancelled, changed time slot with no warning or on a different channel altogether. I found Eastenders on BBC3 the other night.
I appreciate this is a big deal for football fans and sure I understand the semi finals and final taking priority but to move everything else around for a whole month for one sporting competition does that mean I as a none football watching license payer I get a discount next year?
