A new football league highlights programme will be shown on Channel 5 next season, starting at 9.00pm on Saturday night and finishing at 10.30 just in time to switch over for Match of the Day. Mrs. H. will be delighted.

I hope it's handled well, I am looking forward to it being earlier but not what channels have got the rights.

We'll see.

I haven't watched the BBC highlights for the past few years to be fair.  Mostly due to the time but also the highlighted available on youtube/MP player.

 

Being on at this time certainly makes it more appealing, and I feel can only be good for the league, if only marginally.

It's actually going to be shorter because of ads. BBC had 90 minutes, no ads. C5 is 90 minutes including ads. 90 mins was barely enough. Will be goals only for the lower leagues I guess?

im not remotely interested, the bbc should have put it on earlier and got the rights themselves.

I am, personally it needs to be on earlier and that is why the move is good.

It should be entertaining.

The coverage is poor, only Premiership games and the BBC block the states. I may catch the show if they put it online for once.
