    Terrible news.

    F*ck you Sue Barker with your presenting experience, your research team and your professionalism.

    F*ck you Mark Butler with your in depth statistics.

    I want to watch Otis asking Michael Johnson if he ever tried the pole vault.

    Great news, assuming RTE won't be showing it, this is the next best thing.

    According to the article they agreed to transfer the rights to the BBC. Apparently C4 will be the sole terrestrial broadcaster of horse racing after getting some deal so perhaps they don't have the cash or something now. Who knows! Just glad it's on the BBC.

    AFAIK, Eurosport had licence for 2011 and Moscow 2013 championships. Hope that's still the case. Their commentators tend to know their stuff, and there's a little less jingoism than on the beeb. And Lolo Jones may be presenting trackside again... which is always worth tuning in for. ;)
