BBC locals to offer goals show for online listeners
BBC local stations will stream a dedicated goals programme online instead of a looped message telling listeners they cannot listen to live football commentary due to rights issues.
Currently, local radio stations that only have coverage rights for football commentary via terrestrial broadcasting air the loop but will now offer an alternative.
Squad Goals will be presented and created by a group of passionate fans who will take an irreverent look at the English Football League (EFL).
Bury fan Sanny Rudravajhala and former professional footballer Joe Thompson will bring listeners the latest scores and updates from the Championship, League One and League Two, as they come in every Saturday afternoon.
