Athlectics On The Tv This Week Query.?

[cleoval]

Hi My husband is convinced the Athlectics are on the TV this week but i have looked in the TV guide this week and nothing is printing in it.  Does anybody know  if it is on and what channel and time please.? TIA.

If you can't get red button or want to record it Freeview channel 601 but not HD.

You need to remember, Cleoval (and hubby), that the BBC's plan is to switch all of their TV content solely to online services over the next few years.  (i.e. they'll eventually cease broadcasting via Freeview or satellites altogether).  So more and more BBC content will only be available via iPlayer (or, in the case of sport, via the BBC Sport website).

That's the case with coverage of the European Athletics Champoinships from Rome, from Friday of this week through to Wednesday of next week:

^^^ O_G:
All broadcasters are making plans to switch to online services only.  That's why, for example, Sky are heavily promoting Sky Glass (where programming comes over the internet, rather than from the Astra group of satellites), as their satellite services will eventually be discontinued.  Similarly, the plans are for all Freeview transmitters to eventually be switched off too.

I was reading somewhere (can't remember where) this week that freeview would be gone by 2030 but that has now been changed to 2035. Don't know how true it is though.
