Olympia Television Times

[HumBugsey]

Continuing my theme of being a helpful kind of bug I found this online!

"Wednesday 16 December -
FEI World Cup Dressage freestyle to music
Dressage Master Class with Edward Gal

Jean-Franois Pignon and his astounding white horses

Osborne Refrigerators Shetland Pony Grand National

British Eurosport's schedule looks like this:

Wednesday 16th (also HD):

18:25 Top 10 Final from Paris - not Olympia I know, but still showjumping.

19:25 The Gucci Masters - More jumping from Paris.

20:25 Live dressage from Olympia.

Thursday 17th:

20:00 - 22:00 - Highlights and live coverage of the Christmas Stakes.

Friday 18th (also HD 21:00-22:00):

18:55 - 22:30 - Live Puissance.

Saturday 19th (also HD 22:00-23:00):

18:30 - 22:40 - Live Santa Stakes.

Sunday 20th (also HD 20:00-22:30):

18:30 - 22:40 - Live HM Ivy Stakes.

Monday 21st (also HD 22:00-23:30):

18:45 - 22:35 - Live Alltech Grand Prix.

The only BBC coverage I'll be watching is the FEI World Cup due to it not being shown on Eurosport. The BBC cannot be trusted as the red button is extremely unreliable. You can never be guaranteed they're not going to make an unscheduled feed change - as has happened often.

I do wish, though, that all of Olympia was in HD. Sky Sports complete coverage of HOYS and the RIHS from Hickstead in HD was stunning. Too bad Eurosport can't do the same for Olympia.

It's nice to know there is a backup of eurosport but I'll be on BBC god willing for the traditional coverage and lack of adverts!

Thanks for the update. Admin too
