thing about the African Cup of Nations...

is that the BBC knew only football fans would be watching (it was on BBC3) so they presented it accordingly. With major championships, internationals, FA Cup etc they feel the need to pander to the casual non-football fans they anticipate will be tuning in. Thus the coverage gets reduced to Hello magazine celebrity TV level (ITV's "everybody knows about Ronaldo so let's make the whole game about him" approach on Saturday was a classic example)
