Highlight to me where that suggestion was made because I certainly didn't make it.
All I said was that IF an early July GE was called then the evening domestic news bulletins would take on more significance than they usually would during a period of sports heavy programming, especially towards the end of a GE campaign. So the broadcasters might want to ensure the bulletins went out at the usual times for a weekday evening and we're on for the usual 30 minutes rather than the shortened evening bulletins that are often broadcast when the weekday evening schedules are ripped up for football or other summer sports coverage.
