Sky sports news new teatime format
Am I the only one who dislikes the new 5-7pm Premier League show on the sports news channel 409? Watching a presenter with one or two guests disussing what is usually old news is like watching paint dry.
When I sit down after work and eat dinner I want to be updated on news and events of that day, not what I heard at the weekend regurgitated again. I appreciate Sports Centre with the likes of Mike is on at 7pm, but it's too late, by then I want to be watching a movie or even better the build up to a match.
Could we not have a compromise, the PL show 5 -6 and then news as it used to be at 6pm where it belongs?

Do kind of think the same.
Your best bet to get this passed onto the Sky Sports News production team is to send an email to the Sky Viewer relations team to report it;
ViewerR@sky.uk
They do respond to emails with any updates for your queries or problems and pass onto other teams within Sky.

Sadly, Sky Sports News has been going downhill for some time. Getting rid of proper Sports News presenters and replacing them with YouTubers is a big mistake imo.
I presume it's an attempt to attract a younger audience, but the younger generation don't sit in front of a TV news channel like we (older viewers) do. Ironically, they're watching YouTube!.

Which i think it why a lot of the content produced for Sky Sports ( including some of the reports for Sky Sports News) are very quickly uploaded to the various Sky Sports YouTube channels once they have been broadcast.
