Maybe they’ll axe “Mornnnnnnnnning” too! Or perhaps even Amol Rojan himself? No that would be politically incorrect
Good grounds for keeping the Tip slot on Saturdays as it is a leisure day.
Is anybody really surprised; first it was the 5 Live racing news of an early morning, then BBC Sport dropping racing on TV, releasing their ‘racing correspondent’, shunting coverage to 5Live Sports Extra……
Horse racing doesn’t fit the current BBC…..
This was being considered last year, so it must have finally happened.
The BBC’s hostility to betting is now so unhinged that in its report on last year’s Melbourne Cup it concluded by saying the race was controversial because of issues around horse welfare “and its links to gambling”.
A horse race with betting on it! I expect a few BBC staff needed to retreat to a safe space once they found that out.
T”he BBC’s hostility to betting is now so unhinged that in its report on last year’s Melbourne Cup it concluded by saying the race was controversial because of issues around horse welfare “and its links to gambling”.”
Yeah that was like the script of a Brass Eye episode.
This isn’t going to help the BBC’s relations with the Tory Party ……. we know how much they love a bet
Racing Post making/or trying to make much of this. Nicky Henderson has now popped up.
Isn’t the real surprise that it’s lasted so long?
Who did the tips? If it’s someone off the train they’ve probably got about 20 other jobs to fall back on.
It will cause barely a ripple. You could argue it’s another chip off the thin end of the wedge but I personally think it’s insignificant. BBC’s days are numbered in any case you’d think the way the face of modern media is changing. Their model will be untenable soon enough I reckon.
