August 31 is the final day of the 2014 Badminton World Championships, an annual festival for badminton fans nationwide. But your channel live broadcast midway inserted basketball games and related advertising, and directly pinch off the final mixed doubles final, broadcast basketball World Cup group stage (Brazil vs. Iran), to your channel's above behavior, now put forward the strongest protest!!!!
Badminton has a broad mass base in China. According to the State General Administration of Sports "2007 China's urban and rural residents to participate in physical exercise status survey bulletin", the number of badminton enthusiasts, second only to walking, running and table tennis, is estimated to be no less than 100 million people. According to media reports, in 2011 the number of badminton enthusiasts in Guangdong Province alone was no less than 3 million. So badminton is not a niche sport in China, more so than basketball, for example!
Your channel is extremely under-appreciative of the badminton program. Taking table tennis, which also has a wide base, as an example, your channel broadcasts all the world competitions, in addition to the ping pong super, through trials, and open tournaments, etc., while badminton basically only broadcasts the world competitions. In fact, badminton also has a wide range of fans, and in my city, badminton courts usually have to be booked three days in advance, whereas table tennis courts are mostly available on a pay-as-you-go basis. What is the rationale behind your channel's full coverage of sports like curling, wrestling and weightlifting, which rarely involve non-professionals, and the badminton world championships, which start with only a quarter of the matches?
Is it more important for your channel to insert an unimportant basketball charity game into the final broadcast than the World Championships, which represents the highest level of badminton and involves Chinese athletes? If it is because the men's doubles match does not have Chinese athletes involved, then why cancel the mixed doubles match and live broadcast of the basketball World Cup group match between Brazil and Iran, the basketball World Cup Chinese pairs did not participate at all! The Chinese government has been trying to make a difference in the lives of the people of China, but it has not been able to do so.
If you channel on the badminton program really do not think it is important, then please do not monopolize the badminton game in the domestic broadcasting rights! Pioneer bingbong, European soccer and other channels usually broadcast the badminton super tournament, gold tournament, etc., we fans are willing to pay to watch these channels, but because of your channel exclusive badminton World Championships, the Tang You Cup, the Sudirman Cup, etc. resources, if you do not broadcast the channel, we can only be through the network, such as the unstable signal source, the quality of the time can not be guaranteed. Your channel's behavior is simply blocking badminton!
In summary, your channel this badminton World Championships live broadcast does not pay attention to, not comprehensive, unprofessional, and strongly requested in this regard as soon as possible to make a sincere apology and a commitment to the future will not happen again similar behavior!
