Wimbledon 2022

Again, you can use it on a smartphone or a tablet. If you have a device capable of using Twitter, you have a device capable of using iPlayer. The people who truly can't do anything about it, aren't the ones complaining online.

Just because people can use alternatives it doesn't mean they should have to, and many people complaining aren't doing so selfishly but also thinking about those who can't use the iPlayer for whatever reason.  That's a sign we still have somewhat of a functioning society - people caring about those affected by things that may not affect themselves directly.

And yes, The Great British Sewing Bee may be on iPlayer but Bradford on Duty, postponed from last night, isn't - so that isn't the answer to the overall issue.   Wimbledon absolutely should take priority and the ratings show the benefit of it doing so on BBC1, but the scheduling of other programming needs to be done in a way that conceeds scheduled programmes over these two weeks will always be disrupted.

They should treat it like the football when they don't know if they are airing a match. Add a second small schedule to indicate where the episodes will move to. It would seem logical to have BBC 2 full of repeats for the two weeks so that any BBC 1 content can be relocated.
