I would suggest that BBC drop some daft sports like Darts and Golf to save some money. I also have some other money saving tips for BBC. Stop sending a million reporters to Glastonbury every year. Stop spending more money on covering an event like the Royal wedding than what the Royal family itself spent on the wedding.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Could all be bollocks mind. But I'm guessing they're dropping it for financial reasons, namely it's expensive and perceived as a luxury.
I like F1, but I'm not in the UK so doesn't phase me who shows it - I pay for it out here, and the adverts do my head in it has to be said.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

In an age of virtually infinite digital choice, the BBC licence fee is unfair and cruel. No viewer has ever decided that the BBC should take £8 million a day from the public - approximately £3 billion a year.Comment
