They think it's all over. It is now.
The Guardian: BBC ditches classified football results on Radio 5 live
"The BBC has marked the end of an era by discontinuing its classified football results service on 5 live, ending a British radio institution that has been broadcast since the 1950s.
The decision to drop the longrunning feature – in which all major English and Scottish matches were given equal treatment, often with a distinctive intonation – has led to suggestions that the BBC is prioritising Premier League football over the lower leagues."
I did notice this on Saturday while listening to BBC Radio5L.
What is the world coming to hey?
