BBC slammed as snooker coverage snubbed for Homes Under The Hammer repeat

Snooker fans have been left unhappy with the BBC's coverage of the World Championship, with plenty of first round action only available on the red button.

The BBC traditionally air their snooker coverage on BBC Two, but defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan's 10-7 win over Pang Junxu on Saturday began on BBC Four and was then moved to the red button as a Danish crime thriller aired instead.

On Sunday, the snooker began airing on BBC Two, but was interrupted for live coverage of the European Gymnastics Championships and snooker fans were fuming at the decision to move the sport to the red button instead of BBC One where a re-run of Homes Under the Hammer from 2019 was being shown instead.
