Gdynia Open '16

Wonderful coverage of the final by ES. Their programme slot runs out of time and simply cuts off half way through the 5th frame. No explanation, no nothing. The final is repeated tomorrow at 17:30, so hopefully they can stay with it till the end this time.

Not a lot you can say really, would any broadcaster treat any other sport like that? I doubt it. Who's to blame? Well, who's taking a shed load of money from the sport as payment for his expertise in promotion? Surely ensuring that we get to see the end of a final comes somewhere within that remit? This sort of thing is hardly going to endear the sport to newcomers, is it.

Unbelievable! After I posted this I did begin to wonder if they'd simply not bothered to extend the program time on the Sky EPG, meaning that only those who'd recorded the program missed out, but was this not the case? Surely you're not saying that even watching it live, the broadcast simply ended at the same point???

On British Eurosport 2 it run all the way through of that I am sure

Nah, I watched it on the ES Player, I was basing my righteous indignation on your post alone and now you tell me it was just your recorder that stopped, not the actual program? Cheers mate.

I do apologise

I did say it was the program slot that came to an end, but I obviously wasn't clear enough.
