Perhaps the sport could get its own slot on "the prime channels" so the
_weekly_ schedule didn't/doesn't get disrupted. I'm sure there is plenty
of sport that could fill that "slot" when the same-time-every-year
events aren't on. (It used to be, for example, normal that Saturday
afternoons on the "prime channels" - and a slot that evening, with a
distinctive theme tune - was sport.)
