2020 World Seniors Championship

5x expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 08:25, 2 June 2022 (UTC).

  • Article is a 5x expansion and is sourced throughout. Hook fact is interesting enough and cited inline. I have a question about it though, Lee Vilenski. The article says earlier that the championship was aired on BBC, then the sentence supporting the hook says BBC Red Button. Can you clarify that for me as a yankee? BBC is more than one channel, I know. Was that the only BBC channel that was airing it? – Muboshgu (talk) 03:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
  • @Muboshgu: Red Button is a complementary data/TV service — there indeed is no real comparison stateside, think something sort of like NHK's Hybridcast with a dedicated "pop-up" channel for secondary sports events. It would be an ancillary or secondary channel and I believe it would be the only carrier (besides the BBC's own streams, say in iPlayer). Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:20, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the explanation Sammi Brie. I'm taking out the dead external link though. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:04, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
