Important:
This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Paralympic Games Television Coverage
More details
The Olympics had 26 BBC channels (50 if you count HD channels), plus the "Red Button", covering the event. The Paralympics has 1, Channel 4, (2 if you count Channel 4 HD). Paralympians have to train twice as hard due to their disabilities but the television coverage is minimal. It wont help this year but for following Olympic years we want as much television coverage of the Paralympics as the main event receives.
