Sportsound - 大象传媒 Radio Scotland's flagship sports programme - is to expand its
coverage of the Scottish football scene to offer news and match commentary on a
daily basis.
听
The sports programme - presented by Richard Gordon - has, historically, proved
popular on Saturday and Sundays but the increase in midweek games has also
resulted in an appetite for more coverage throughout the week.
听
Sportsound will run from 7.15 to 10.00 every night on 810 MW and on digital radio and television from Monday 31 July 2006.
听
The weekday 90-minute programme's reputation for breaking stories will now be augmented by live
match coverage plus news and analysis.
听
Jim Spence will alternate with Richard
Gordon as presenter and - on evenings where there is no live match - the programme
will follow a magazine format with news, discussion, packages and features,
including Off the Ball.
听
Off the Ball also extends on a Saturday with a new start time of 12.30pm.
听
Tom Connor, Editor, Radio Sport, said: "Sportsound has enjoyed growing popularity in recent years and we felt we had to respond to this demand with an
expanded service."
