BBC Scotland make major change to their football schedule with popular show AXED within days
IT’S a programme which is a big part of many people’s Saturday routine.
But a bulletin from the bosses at BBC Scotland has revealed that it will be AXED early in the New Year.

Featuring a presenter and two pundits watching the results come through around the country, the Sportscene Results show has just a couple of Saturday’s left.
It’s a tough break for the staff who work on the show, which is believed to be one of the most watched programmes on the channel – even if it’s a logical victim of cuts.
That’s because the traditional football results service on BBC One Scotland will be delivered by Radio Scotland’s Open All Mics service from January 11.
The radio show, which has a live feed for TV viewers, is fronted by Kenny Macintyre, with live updates from around the grounds and input from pundits such as Michael Stewart and Tom English on the issues of the day.
Today’s Sportscene results show was hosted by David Currie with Julie Fleeing and Cammy Bell on the panel.
BBC Scotland wrote in a statement: “BBC One Scotland’s traditional football results service on Saturday afternoon will be delivered by Open All Mics from January 11, taking the current Sportscene Results slot.
“The popular BBC Radio Scotland show, presented by Kenny Macintyre, gives football fans an unrivalled mix of match reports, breaking news, and analysis from around the country and from the studio. Sportscene: Open All Mics will be available on BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Sounds, BBC Sport Scotland online and BBC One Scotland every Saturday afternoon.
“The visualisation from the Open All Mics studio for BBC One Scotland will include a comprehensive on-screen results service and state-of-the-art graphics to complement the reports from around the grounds and the pundits’ analysis.
“Open All Mics has been successfully visualised and broadcast on the BBC Scotland channel at various points across this year.
BBC Sport Scotland editor Tom Connor said: ‘Audiences look to us for a comprehensive round-up of the results on Saturday afternoon and Sportscene: Open All Mics will continue that high quality service on television, radio and online, with energy, excitement, and in-depth analysis.
“Across platforms, our Saturday afternoon results service will cover all the twists and turns from the matches across the country, with our leading team of sports journalists and pundits.”
