Perhaps I ought to be grateful....
At least, we're finally starting to see signs of some consistency in CCTV5's coverage of the World Cup.
Yes, they've decided - in their infinite stupidity - to consistently add a banner across the bottom of the screen displaying the final score during the whole of the extended highlights roundups of the previous evening's matches.
I don't think they were doing this at the start of the competition. They've decided to add this 'useful service' just as things are getting really exciting as we're effectively entering the knockout phase, and when we can't watch all of the matches live because some of them are played simultaneously (and more and more of them in the graveyard 2.30am slot). Ggrrrr.......
Is there any conceivable explanation for this? Other than monstrous idiocy, or complete contempt for their audience??
[By the by, they finally got around to showing the Canadian Grand Prix early this Monday morning - edited highlights only, I presume, since the whole programme lasted barely an hour. And this is one full week after the race. You couldn't make this up.....]
