Imagine they might want to take three of the weekend matches and then the 5pm kick-offs to avoid being up against potential late night thrillers at Wimbledon? Whereas the later matches on Monday and Tuesday would benefit the BBC schedulers as they can just extend the tennis earlier in the day.
It’d be interesting to know how much weighting
a) the teams involved
b) the time slot
c) other programming
Has when deciding the knock out picks
All time slots are fairly favourable from a time slot perspective, even 5pm on a weekday isn’t too bad
BBC One have a lot of programming that ideally they’d avoid, they’ve got the legends slot at Glastonbury on Sunday and the headliners slot at Glastonbury which are both one One but shunted to Two if they are showing football, Wimbledon and the aftermath of the general election, where they would ideally not end up with having to leave early for the 5pm kick off and disrupt the Six
But if a juicy tie with two massive teams falls into their lap, would this override all those scenarios
