We are being very badly served by the BBC this year with respect to coverage of the Australian Open Tennis Championships.

Last year there was wall to wall coverage at all hours but this year only three matches are scheduled to be shown live and our only guarantee of seeing Andy Murray play is if he makes it to the final.  They don't even have a daily highlights programme.  As an innovation doubly to be deprecated we are offered an on-line text commentary.

All to do with saving money apparently.  Perhaps they could have shaved a bob or two off the synchronised swimming at the olympics instead.
