Due to severe weather in Helsinki, it has brought down the coverage of the World Athletics on BBC2. The transmission was getting dodgy for a few minutes and went blank twice before the caption appeared.

The breakdown caption is still up.

I'm sure the caption has a fault of its own, as whenever that comes on, it always seems to have a double spacing in between "the" and "break".

Why don't they fix that?

And wny was it that the announcer said one thing, and after only a few seconds, said a similar thing again. A bit pointless, don't you think?

Another breakdown slide on-air and it keeps falling off as well, with a few seconds of black every now and then!

Now showing some pictures from Helsinki with no commentary/music, but a buzzing/crackling noise - its the weather - rain & thunder.
