sunken dream

We all know that watching football/sport on TV today is totally different from how it was back in the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s. But back in the day we were totally spoilt on some great programmes. BBC had Grandstand, with Football Focus, Teleprinter/Vidiprinter and a proper Final Score, midweek we had the great Sportsnight with a great sprinkling of sports but mostly cup football. ITV had World Of Sport, with On The Ball and their own results service, then when World Of Sport ended they had their results service with Elton Welsby. Midweek ITV give us Midweek Sport Special and more cup football. Throw into the mix the great Saint & Greavsie on Saturday lunchtimes who were on a different level. I don’t think we appreciated what we used to have, from the programmes themselves to great presenters and commentators. We were spoilt in a big way and something we will never get back when you look at what’s on offer today!

An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end. Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season. First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent. Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms. BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.
