Match of the Day - 2023/24

[stonerblue]

Just looking at that presentation team does my head in, how is that truly representative of the people who attend the matches or the country as a whole?

What, you mean 2 women football fans and a bloke? Football and the country is full of em..

About 4 million people watch Match of the Day on average.

It’s still a hugely popular show.

Football Focus, where that clip is from, less so.

who said it was match of the day? it is clearly football focus

That’s my biggest criticism - that they don’t have to be the same as Sky and the papers but could offer something different and non biased.

I think that's because they've been told (by governments, government appointed cronies and also by the public) that they're just another broadcaster who needs to compete on the same basis as others. So in some parts of their portfolio they increasingly make the same lowest common denominator shit as other broadcasters. There now seems to be insufficient people (within and without) who care about the spirit of the BBC charter for them to have the guts to live up to it. The public gets what the public want.

Just assumed you were talking about Match of the Day as per thread title.

And they wonder why no one watches this shite anymore

"Almost an architect of his own downfall"

That's the reason I haven't watched it in donkey's years.

It's representative of what the BBC thinks is representative.

They're like listening to the uninformed dickhead in the pub except they expect you to pay for it.

Won't be long before they are a subscription channel and the only subscribers will be readers of the RDAHMeedya biased sports pages.

Which is exactly the route that Sky has taken.
