Channel 5 lost the EFL show

The Football League's struggling Saturday night highlights show will be screened by low-profile freeview channel Quest from next season.

The official announcement will follow when the presenting team are known and the time of the broadcast, crucial to the show's success, is agreed.

The highlights have been shown at 9pm on Channel Five for the past three seasons, but the programme has never attracted the audiences expected for such a prime-time slot.

The EFL highlights used to be shown in the graveyard slot after Match of the Day by the BBC, but still brought in one million viewers, double the number watching on Channel Five.

The BBC were said to be interested in regaining the rights, but the EFL have preferred to take the bigger offer from wealthy Liberty Group, who oversee Eurosport and the Discovery channels, as well as the relatively unknown Quest.

Not necessarily that easy Frank. There are still small areas of Plymouth that have awful tv reception without an expensive aerial solution in a rented property they might be legally asked to leave within 2 months, or unconditional surrender to the likes of Sky.
As it happens, this might be one example of existing below the radar being a good thing ..... no access to crap TV. Colin Murray has to be one of the best contemporary examples of dumbing down the herd with an authentic post industrial dialect, punctuated with social media empathy for the footy downtrodden. Eat it up, footy rocks.
