Rejected petition Test Match Cricket should be screened live on BBC TV

More details

Pensioners or people on limited incomes are unable to watch their national side because of the expense of satellite TV subscriptions. If the BBC were told not to pay their executives and so called celebrities over inflated salaries, the Corporation might be able to afford to screen our national side playing so that everyone can enjoy their success.
The goverment should force the BBC to comply and stop satellite companies from enjoying exclusive rights
