BBC told to modernise 'outdated' Wimbledon: All England Club urge broadcaster to revamp coverage - including 'out of touch' presenters - with contract up for renewal in 2027
The All England Club have reportedly urged the BBC to improve its 'stale' coverage of Wimbledon if the broadcaster is to continue showing the tournament. The BBC, which first aired radio coverage from Wimbledon 100 years ago, will see its current deal end after the 2027 tournament. However, according to The Times, there's a 'strong' feeling among those at the All England Club that coverage of the sport's oldest Grand Slam must improve. Despite its coverage of The Ashes being dubbed 'very amateur', its tennis showing has largely impressed. The All England Club declined to comment when approached by Daily Mail Sport.
