"The national broadcaster wouldn't dare treat the Summer Olympics or the football or rugby World Cups in such a shabby manner"
"The most convenient, of course, is the BBC, which has all-day coverage across its main channels, BBC One and BBC Two."
"Unless, that is, you're one of those poor unfortunates who take their TV from Saorview only and are therefore limited to just the Irish channels."
BBC provides all-day live coverage of the Winter Olympics across its main channels, BBC One and BBC Two. The BBC represents the most convenient television option for continuous Winter Olympics viewing. There is more than one place to watch the Winter Olympics live on television. Households that rely solely on Saorview receive only the Irish channels and are therefore unable to access the BBC's all-day coverage. The national broadcaster would not treat the Summer Olympics or the football or rugby World Cups in such a shabby manner. The current arrangement creates a disparity in live event access between viewers with broader channel options and Saorview-only households.
