Closed petition Keep the 'Open Golf Broadcast' at the BBC
Closed on
Fox Sport (Murdoch) are making a bid for the Open Golf tournament. The Open is no longer protected as a listed event that has to be shown live on terrestrial television.
This will affect young people who want to follow golf, reduce the viewing figures by two thirds and become a subscription based service.
Please sign this petition to keep the Open out of greedy Murdoch/Fox Sports' hands.
