Anybody know the reason for the "Live from Centre Court" graphic that comes up occasionally - is it for other broadcasters (despite it having a BBC Sport logo on it as well)? I could understand it if it was being simulcast on something like BBC News Channel but it just comes up randomly.


I've not seen that Confused maybe I've not been watching closely enough.

Its just to promote it to people switching on to BBC1 wondering what's going on, not for the international feed.

It looked like they lost the score graphics completely for a few moments there - maybe they had to reboot the machine.

It should be at least 10.40pm before the BBC News comes on tonight now. They shouldn't have committed to showing Criminal Justice and instead fill with tennis chat to 10pm

Today at Wimbledon after Newsnight or Red Button now.

The BBC will feel vindicated - and a live interview now to-boot.

I'm not a tennis fan as such, but that must rank as the one of the classic Wimbledon matches. It would have been interesting to see how dark it would have looked to the naked eye - it's pretty dark here in Belfast where the sun sets 45 minutes later than London, so it must have been dark!

Well done the Scot / Brit / Celt, call him what you want.

Very Happy

According to the Sky planner the BBC News has been dumped. Guessing he schedules not been fully updated yet.

According to Sky's EPG the 10 will follow at 10:25, but I doubt that's the latest update.

I presume the QF will now be shifted to BBC One although I have no idea what time of the day it's scheduled. I would expect the bods at Wimbledon to try to ensure the "after work" audience same as today.

Someone is madly tapping a keyboard somewhere to update the various EPGs. Sky currently has this, which indicates an unknown programmme with a start time of 2:54am, that's abit late for the 10! Laughing

Yeah, committing to a series stripped over five nights in a Wimbledon week is a quite brave, even given Brits track record in the championships.

I take it they did the switch at 8.30pm, apologising for the loss of whatever what going (I noticed Panorama was scheduled for earlier this evening?)

No doubt some will moan but a truly great match - thought he was a gonner earlier this evening!
