I suspect that was just sheer laziness on the part of the staff, Lee.
The time switch clicks in at the beginning of business in the morning and all the tellys come on on channel 1, BBC One.
Intelligent staff would then go round and change a few channels, here and there, but don't get me started on the intelligence levels of shop assistants!

There's nothing wrong with the intelligence of Shop Assistants at all... (Can you tell what I do for a living?
)
Where I work the TV's are put onto one channel simply because it looks alot better than a load of different channels showing different things!

And, officially, it allows a clear comparison of picture quality when you are seeing the same thing on different channels.
In practice, of course, this does not work for two key reasons. The first: widescreen televisions are usually incorrectly configured so the picture is often stretched, squashed and skewed on different sets. The second: the picture is often fuzzy because of the number of sets going through the same aerial port.

The BBC really don't use the rain delays to their benefit - rather than showing matches from 1980 they have plenty of matches not screen live from earlier in the week.
Q: Sue Barker now presents the live action on BBC1 and BBC2 all day, with John Inverdale just doing Today at Wimbledon. Before Des Lynam left, didn't they have two seperate presenters during the day?

Not really, there was only so much they had from the first two days they could show. They tend to only repeat the matches that have only been on BBCi anyway.

Me thinks that the complaints might start again - Wimbledon are playing tomorrow - Sunday. There's bound to be a few schedule alterations to fit the play in.

Possibly to indicate that there is no commentary for the match.......
