Why is it that the engineers at the Sutton Coldfield Transmitter have found it necessary to turn the transmitter off between 00:50 and 05:57 every day this week and yet cannot 'predict' this until after the event ???
Also, every night this week, BBC1 has shown a fairly good film in the late evening which is ALWAYS scheduled to finish at 01:10. Could the engineers not wait 20 minutes so that those of us who are only able to watch TV at this time could atleast see the end of the film ???????
