don't get me wrong I appreciate it's on the tv at all .. but the day of the senior ITV had total blanket coverage of a tennis tournament in france .. every last second of it .. about 6 hours worth!!!! everything from the players walking out to the ball boys picking their noses

The coverage was the next best thing to have been there,if that is not to your satisfaction get off your BUTT and go and support them, ITS FREE. TRY AND GET A TICKET FOR THE TENNIS FOR NOTHING.

Did you even read what I wrote before you put that little gem together

I think you have to be practical about this. The amount of people who follow, tennis, football ect greatly out weigh the number of TT fans.
I thought the amount of covearge was adequate. TV companies are there to make money. If they put on more then they would get no more money in return.

check some facts .. The TT was far and away ITV4's top rated program of the fortnight and pulled in 750000 viewers a night.

Sure that's not in the same league as the footy, Eastenders and Britains got a lot of irritating attention seekers, but it's well above the average viewing figures for the channel and is 3 times the viewers they pull in screening the 4.5 hours yawn by yawn coverage of indian premier league cricket.

1.5 times the viewing audience of the Live Africa cup of nations final (never mind the group games that where all shown in full)

And what was on the Friday afternoon of the senior? .. Cops with Cameras!!

ooooooooooooooooo .. there'd be outrage if I had to miss CWC
