Having drilled down through the BBC's website to find the necessary link, I sent them a complaint on a totally different issue - moving the 6 o'clock news for some football match which didn't even involve any British team. With the plethora of digital channels now available, why must they bug.ger about with the flagship BBC1 news spot?
The same dismissive attitude in their response and no real attempt to address the core issue of my complaint:
We recognise that there has been some disruption to the normal schedules, but we do try and keep our audience informed by publishing the schedules ten days before and keeping disruption to the minimum.
We remain committed to a wide range of programming to cater for those who do not like football or sport in general and we ensure that these are trailed throughout our channels and also online on bbc.co.uk.
Fine - but put the wretched kev-ball on BBC2/3/4 or whatever! Moving the 6 o'clock news from BBC1 to BBC2 doesn't work either - because local news can only be inserted into the BBC1 network and would be lost.
The BBC's coverage of the Diamond Jubilee events has, in the main, been pretty tawdry. Almost down to 'The One Show' level with overpaid, gushing self-licking lollipop presenters ignorant of the subject - and totally lacking any real gravitas.
