“For all of the sports coverage that is available across all the various forms of media, there is still something unique, intimate and human about radio commentary. So for me this 90th anniversary is well worth celebrating.”
Ben Gallop, the BBC’s Head of Radio and Digital Sport adds: “Sport has been at the heart of the BBC for 90 years now and to mark the anniversary this programme will be an unashamed celebration of the best ever sports moments on radio.
“It will also salute some of the great broadcasters – past and present – whose incredible ability to convey all the drama, excitement and energy of countless, historic sporting occasions is second to none.”
