TV Next Weekend

[Pete]

What is the coverage on TV for next weekend. Any info.? It will be interesting to see who is interviewed.:)

[Katie]

I'm not sure whether or not there's tv coverage, but remembering quite a few of the stars from the Commonwealths are at the World SC, I'm not sure how much interest there will be. But hopefully the performances at the Commonwealths have increased the interest in swimming!!

World SC is on Eurosport Weds-Fri I think.

[NotVeryFast]

Yes, there seems to be live coverage of the semis and finals on Eurosport:
Wed 5th April : 12:30-14:30
Thu 6th April : 13:00-14:30
Fri 7th April : 13:00-14:30
I'm sure the rest of the event will also be covered, will see when the tv guides go on sale on Tue.

Given that next weekend features the Grand National and US Masters golf, TV coverage of the swimming may suffer.

According to www.radiotimes.com, there will be an hour of coverage of the world shortcourse champs on BBC2 from 1:10 - 2:10 on Sunday.

so that must be world short course from Shanghai - are the nationals/trials on grandstand?

[Bazza]

No, but there is some coverage of world shortcourse on Sunday Grandstand - see my post above.

Ah, I see now that Pete actually posted this in the National Championships forum. Sush mentioned World SC, and Pete had only mentioned TV next weekend in the subject so I assumed he must have been talking about the World SC - I don't generally mentally register what forum a post is in as I just view the latest posts from the site home page. I don't know if there is any TV coverage of the Nationals - there's no mention that I can see on the BBC Grandstand website.

Clearly not happening tho. :( Same old unsatisfactory coverage from the BBC. You'd think they'd show either the GB Champs or World SC after the swimming domination in UK Sport at the CGs.
