The gulf in coverage quality between BBC and Eurosport is unbelievable. I actually enjoy Eurosport and their continued coverage of fairly-niche sports (mainly cycling for me), but it's clear that they just don't have the infrastructure or depth to cover an event like an Olympics or World Cup. The BBC are experts.
Lots of the events aired on Eurosport are just feeds; no commentary it analysis.
I think it's a huge error, viewership will decrease and the sports that usually get a boost from TV coverage will struggle.

- petepete 5y agoI'm with you in sports I understand like football, but I definitely benefit from a bit of expert guidance in things I don't like taekwando, skateboarding or shooting.
