While I am on a prolonged holiday in Malta, staying with family who know that I’m a big sports fan, they kindly subscribed to Melita Sports channels during my stay.
So what does Melita Sports offer on their eight channels? One or two channels that occasionally show a live evening football match, which is then endlessly repeated, while the remaining six don’t broadcast anything at all for weeks or sometimes months.
Now that they have a chance to give something back to their long-suffering customers by offering the six-nations rugby tournament, what do they do? They put it on a non-sports channel to which we do not subscribe. I’ve seen and heard a lot about rip-off Britain; there’s a BBC investigative television series with that title. Another country just came to mind!
