9pm, much more of sensible time. I know there hasn't been much to look at this season, but I could hardly stay awake for the BBC programme. Good on Channel 5, and quite frankly a disgrace to the BBC who cannot compete. Where is all the licence fee going too.

Let's hope they do a good job. Not easy finding the right pundits.

Better times , so great news for me as i don't stay up for bbcs late 1

Tbh there are so many games I'd rather they didn't bother with pundits and just made the programme and hour long..

 

[Man of Harveys]

I hope they hire Leroy Rosenior, he's a top pundit.

Migrants, asylum seekers, and LEFTIES............................probably.

I could hardly stay awake for the BBC programme.

You could always have had a good SNOOZE earlier in the day watching the Albion though for 90 mins.

I've just read about this on the league website - here's the link

Dragging football into the 21st century !!

Sounds excellent! Is that in addition to the Beeb's Football League Show or instead of it, anybody know, article in the link doesn't seem to mention it? Would presume it's instead of.

Lot of pressure on the programme makers to edit all the games into a 90 minute show by 9 pm I'd have thought.

early to bed then

My BIG concern is that Andy Townsend is looking for a new job...

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Can I take a guess at the name of this show? I reckon it will be imaginatively called The Football League Highlights Show.

 

[SAC]

I can't believe that anything on C5 is going to be an improvement other than the fact that it will come out at 9PM.

 

[Paris]

Remember the ITV Football League Extra Show many years ago. Was broadcast at 1am on tuesday mornings. Think Gabriel Clarke was involved with that one and/or Andy Steggall(sp).

How about Dirty Desmond's Football League Highlights Show sponsored by The Daily Star.

Along with the quintessential everyman (assuming that 'everyman' means 'shares many characteristics with a potato') Adrian Chiles.

I can't believe anything administered from Preston will be an improvement either.

Indeed. Good luck watching it on demand as well. If this is anything like Channel 5s efforts with the cricket highlights, they should be available online about ten minutes before kick off of the next round of games.
