The BBC has been withering on the vine for years. I'm looking forward to the day that they become a subscription service and to see how much the public love this out of date dinosaur.The BBC has too much content which has been derived from social media. Last time I looked less than 10 per cent of the UK public even used Twitter. The "banter boys" are a tiny minority of people who follow football and an even smaller minority of matchgoers. The BBC has lost touch with its core audience in the UK. Interest in football has grown hugely in the last 20 years and yet the BBC coverage, on all channels, has been reduced.
Not sure about that; Sport On 2 on a Saturday afternoon, and that was the size of it back in 81 wasn’t it?I am laid low with Covid at present and very reliant on the Radio. I turned Talksport on last night for the first time in two years. Despite being a football fanatic I find it impossible to listen to. The ouput is just dire and totally moronic. We must have the worst sports radio coverage in the the world in this country. Radio 5 Live provides less football coverage than we used to have 40 years ago.
I don’t listen generally on a Saturday afternoon, but on a Sunday there there is plenty of time devoted to football chat and live comms 12.30 - 630, and the Monday night club with Chapman which is normally 2 hours in length if there is no match on, is a decent listen (excepting the times when Red Rory dominates). However the Friday night footy preview show seems more tailored to a young audience. Overall I think they still devote a lot of on air time to football.The BBC has too much content which has been derived from social media.

It is Strictly for Horses.The BBC has been on a major downward spiral with live football coverage for years but there's nothing to stop them doing intelligent football analysis programmes and interviews. I think that their football podcasts are also pretty poor.
It was pathetic to see the amount of coverage they gave to very fringe sports at the Tokyo Olympics because they don't have he rights for anything else. My favourite was "live dressage." I am pretty sure that even dressage fanatics realise it is a sport which doesn't work well on radio!
Bottle 'O' Gear.Why am I thinking of Archie Andrews?
And there was me thinking I’m old!
Goldstein shifted onto drive recently. At least when Durham was on every club got its share of clickbait comments and triggered callers, made me lol at times, suckered. But the new rag manages to shoehorn rags into every segment of the show. So do you think utd have done good business, in relation to asking guests about other teams spending. Or are rags title contenders when talking about the new season. Uses rags to compare in every part of the show. Switched off and put some tunes on instead
Completely agree, he is incredibly needy and childish, awful to listen to and like a typical new age Premier League era fan and he manages to turn every conversation to United like we're all interested. Worst thing they have done is replace Durham on Drive with this cretin.
At least Max Rushden has emigrated thank god
