Curious to know what swimming was on what channel I found two schedules :
the BBC, at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/swimming/event_schedule/default.stm
& Eurosport http://yahoo.eurosport.co.uk/tvschedule_clng2_day10.shtml
An article in MediaGuardian (edited for succinctness) said the following:
The BBC confirmed that it is to withdraw the BBC Parliament channel from the Freeview digital terrestrial TV service for the duration of the Olympics and replace it with action from Beijing.
BBC Parliament's Freeview capacity will be used to "enhance" the quality of interactive TV streaming.
The BBC is due to officially unveil its Olympic coverage plans next month, but the event is expected to dominate the main BBC outlets including BBC1, BBC2 and BBC Radio 5 Live. However, coverage is not expected to leak on to BBC3 or BBC4.
The BBC will launch a number of specialised Olympic "red button" interactive streams, which it has previously used during major sporting events including the 2004 Athens Olympics.
