They were showing nothing of note (a film then repeats of the usual daytime fare) between 3pm and 5pm and I think almost every other (if not every other) event since the BBC regained the live rights to every event in 2020/21 has had live coverage on BBC Two, Three, Four or the Red Button.Presumably the BBC didn't think it worthwhile up against Wimbledon and/or wanted to offer a non-sport alternative
Not quite the first time. Silesia last year was in the same position as it was during the Commonwealth Games. Think Monaco in 2021 as well since there was live programming on BBC2 and BBC4 already, and no BBC3 to use
