Broadcast daily physical activity 'home work' on TV to keep the nation active

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Broadcast daily physical activity 'home work' sessions specifically tailored for children, young people, families, adults and older people on free-to air TV to get and keep the nation active during the Coronavirus crisis

#StayInWorkOut
During the Coronavirus crisis the nation is being asked to stay at home, self-isolate & adhere to social distancing. Therefore, to get & keep the nation active (as possible), we need to adapt the role of our public service broadcasting responsibilities via free-to-air TV & broadcast daily physical activity 'home work' sessions for the nation, in the same way the Government ensures that the ‘crown jewels’ list of protected sports events such as the Olympics, World Cup & Wimbledon are broadcast!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a matter for broadcasters.
