Sportsound – BBC 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. The sports programme 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. Sportsound will run from 7.15 to 10.00 (1815-2100 UTC) every weeknight on 810 kHz mediumwave and on digital radio and television from Monday 31 July 2006.
The weekday 90-minute programme’s reputation for breaking stories will now be augmented by live match coverage plus news and analysis. On evenings where there is no live match - the programme will follow a magazine format with news, discussion, packages and features.
