Does anyone know why the decision has been made to reduce the TV/video coverage of Olympia this year?

In previous years I seem to recall watching the Santa Stakes etc. but this year - nought. Very disappointing, but I suppose it is a clever marketing trick to force me to buy exorbitant tickets next year...

I really wanted to see Luca Moneta (ITA). Anyone else feeling a tad nonplussed?
 
A lot of it's on the BBC red button, and I think there is some on Eurosport as well. Here's a list:

Tuesday 17th
FEI World Cup Dressage (Freestyle) - 19:40–22:25 - Red Button & online
Thursday 19th
Alltech Puissance - 20:55–22:15 –Red Button and online
Saturday 21st
Longines World Cup - 13:45–16:30 – BBC 1 HD & online
18:00-20:45 – Repeated on Red Button
Sunday 22nd
Grand Prix - 18:10–19:55 – Red Button
Evening Performance – 18:10–22:00 - online
Evening Performance - 21:00–22:55 & 22:55–05:59 – Red Button
Monday 23rd
Olympia Highlights - 14:05–15:05 - BBC 2 HD & online

I think there is also some on Eurosport?

I do think it would be better on BBC2 or something though. At the very least they could show it late at night. All of those digital channels, and it's not on there and you can't record from the red button.

Perhaps we ought to complain?
 
If I remember last year a lot was supposed to be on red button but there was thread after thread of people tuning in and nothing shown, we were chasing around channels / times / online etc to find some coverage.
