The curfew is 11pm, not 10pm. That's why I suggested they will move it to BBC Two. Novak Djokovic is still a big audience draw.

Just checked the schedule and they are moving from BBC One to BBC Two at 21:30.
I doubt very much they would prioritise Queen of Oz considering hardly anyone is watching it. It’s just they are updating the EPG one programme at a time.

What on earth has happened to the BBC's Wimbledon coverage? They're treating it shoddily for one of the few remaining jewels in the crowns they can barely afford these days. Breaking the coverage to run pointless repeated trailers between sets? Missing the first two games of live matches in favour of pre-recorded interviews and filler chat?
Terrible. Time to give Wimbledon to a broadcaster who cares.
I think the way it has gone this week next year they might as well cave in and schedule from 7-10pm on BBC1 for the first week, although we'll have clashed with Euro 2024 to factor in as well.
I think the new format for Today at Wimbledon would work fine as a half hour show given they've cut most the filler which could then go out at 10pm on BBC2.

Noticed the Amex logo on what appears to be BBC Sport-branded "game set and facts" lower third. Are domestic viewers mistakenly receiving the world feed or is this not actually a bbc graphic?

Pretty sure it’s not a BBC graphic - looks similar but not identical. I thought it odd too, but guess that’s allowed since BBC aren’t the host broadcaster?
