yep agree with that........but 12 midnight? nail in the coffin. There were a few times when there was no premiership football and the Beeb STILL put it on at midnight !

dunno how quickly they can edit the programme together, but it's not live so they can just put it on iplayer once it's done and still have had it after MOTD, which would have been perfectly fine. i've not watched a non-live broadcast at its scheduled time in years, and the whole concept of channels and schedules is incredibly outdated. five having it at 9pm? i'm not going to be watching it then either, i'll be at the pub and if i want to catch up on our goal i'll either sky+ it or catch up on demand.
 
I seem to remember that Sky bought the majority of the rights to the football league and and put a clause in the contract with the BBC that they could not broadcast it on the same day as the game was played hence the earliest the programme could start was midnight/Sunday morning.
Maybe Channel 5 refused to sign that contract...
The addon adblock plus used with firefox is excellent at stopping the playing of adverts on channel 5. ITV and Channel 4 have barred its use.
 
If you were in charge of the new Channel 5 Highlights Programme, what would you do? What sort of show would you like to see?

I think that my idea of a good show would be:-

1) No long introduction by the presenter and introducing his guests for the week
2) No featured matches where they show 10 minutes of a game, even if it was a boring 0-0 draw.
3) Rattle through highlights of every match in strict “Top to Bottom” order (no favoured teams being shown first).
4) Show all the best bits from every match, not just the goals. This would include good moves, near misses, controversial decisions, showboating etc..
5) If there’s any context to be explained (e.g. “Watford need to win to be certain of going up”), just stick it in a caption on the screen at the start of the match.
6) The first hour of the programme (including adverts as will be inevitable on C5) should be just that, no talk, all action.
7) Only after the full highlights package has been shown, should they switch to the traditional “pundits chatting about what they’ve just watched” scenario.
8) For the final half hour, the presenter can do a quick intro of his guests and review the week's main talking points.
9) While also showing the updated league tables, goalscoring charts etc..
10) I would like to see different guests every week for a bit of variety and this could include celebrity fans, comedians etc (not allowed to plug anything though) along with ex-players and managers.
11) Finally, presenter thanks his guests. Show best bits again over the end credits.

<< Executive Producer for Channel 5 Mark Sharman said: "Channel 5 are committed to bringing a quality, innovative football highlights show to Saturday night primetime TV. The 9pm slot finally gives the Sky Bet Football League the coverage and respect the fans deserve on terrestrial television." >>
 
At last a place to see the JPT highlights
 
In my opinion it's a shame the Football League Show is leaving the BBC.

I remember on the last episode the presenters saying 'thanks for being with us for the last 6 years' - now I know why. Bearing in mind they had to cover about 30 games from three divisions, I thought there was a good balance between match highlights, punditry and special features.

Wonder who's presenting???

I hope she's gorgeous, softly spoken, comparatively knowledgeable about football, unafraid of castigating the crap referees at L1 & L2 level and has a repetitive proclivity for wearing short skirts and plunging necklines !! ;)

There .... I've managed to upset anybody who is PC several times in one post !!

Amen to that! Can I also add Leroy Rosenior to that too?
How about Warnock as a co-presenter alongside Charlie "I know f*** all about football but look good" Webster?

I don't want Charlie "I've got Mike's autograph but now I'm developing a political conscience" Webster anywhere near my team ever again. She can take a big f**k off tablet (the really big ones that you have to break in half to swallow )
How about Kelly Brooke & Scarlet Johannsen ....... they may know sod all about football but after Maniche and Steve they would be a massive improvement. ;)

I vote for the Wonga puppets now they are out of a job. More charisma that fecking Manish, Claridge, Rosenior and Clematis combined.

That CBBC dog puppet who did the snooker with Hazel Irving was good an all.

Failing that would anyone be really bothered if there was no inane drivel between action and they just showed 90 mins of footy with nobody hosting it from a studio at all?

They spend 3/4 of the show bumming off Derby and Watford and spend about 1/4 of the show rattling through L1 & L2 as fast as they can.

I know what you mean re. Derby and Watford. It doesn't really concern me, I always record it, skip all the manager interviews and punditry and just watch the goals.
 
Channel 5 in when it first launched; Jonathan Pearce screaming frantically as Valerenga played out a nil/nil draw against CSKA Sofia. Softcore porn after 11pm on weekends and that shit, plagiarised version of Crystal Maze hosted by Dirty Den and Melinda Messenger.

Them were't'days...
 
Thats a pity about the FLS living Outside the UK I could watch the FLS on iplayer or BBC redbutton because it started at 01:00 where I live. How it looks like I have to watch it when they send it crap.

Good post and good ideas.

I'd reduce the chatting bit to 20 minutes to make sure all the football is included but that's a better format than the BBC's, which was a bit muddled.

Claridge isn't that bad on the radio but he's not able to summarise properly in the time he's allotted. So he just talks crap and picks up his money. No-one likes pundits anyway, probably jealousy mainly because I'd love their job, getting paid to talk about football, and I'm sure most football fans would too.

Young un! I remember Countdown (yes the original, back when it had the ugly Leeds bint doing the numbers!) kicking off Channel 4.

(now, the problem with these types of posts is some twunt always turns up and pisses on your parade and says "I remember the day BBC2 started, and Jeremy Clarkson, Monty Don, Jeremy Paxman and that bird with the big tits (*) off of Only Connect opened BBC2 with a 'cheerio old boy, welcome to post-war Britain").

* - yeah, yeah grandpa. They weren't on BBC2 back in the day. Bite me!

I like a lot of this.

The biggest change I would make is start with League Two. Build up to the supposed best stuff and have people interested in watching the whole show, rather than falling asleep half way through.
