BBC’s Match of the Day Celebrates 60 Years Amid Criticism

This Week, BBC’s Key show of British football game “Match of the Day” celebrate it 60 th anniversary amid criticism and change of the show itself but controversial of its current leader.

The BBC this week celebrated the 60 th anniversary of the first show of its iconic footballing program, Match of the Day. But as the broadcaster marked a significant milestone in show business, it was mired in a deep controversy and ongoing change, representing a program being adored and being hated-rightfully.

Match of the Day is a show for football fans broadcast late on Saturday night and currently presided over by the BBC’s best-paid presenter, former professional footballer Gary Lineker. But in recent years it has been the target of sustained viewer complaints amid accusations of excessive analysis, overexposure, and a lack of original content, turning the show increasingly ‘‘mind-numbing.’’ Lineker’s large salary has drawn significant public attention and contributed fuel to the ongoing debate about what television hosts are worth.

However, throughout the anniversary weekend, Match of the day had continued to broadcast unabated and with no hint of concern. Presented to the audience as an ultimately joyful and bulk-rich show, with both of its aspects increasingly ‘off-message,’’ the BBC was rattled by recent happenings behind the scenes in a program full of big egos that the BBC audience was genuinely angry. One of the major character changes might be this week’s termination of Jermaine Jenas to be Lineker’s successor under suggestion of inappropriate correspondence. This has been immediately followed by an internal investigation and shift from employing Jenas to sign with former employers by the BBC. The historic anniversary meanwhile continued to attract major television stars to discuss the history of one of the BBC’s most famous shows, and the BBC channel Lime Tree, who was on the station for over 12 hours, made only a passing reference to the deep current and justifying changes.

As the dust raised by the celebration settles, the recent controversy about Match of the Day and its current host could be a sign of critical implication and change at the BBC. Salaries of staff and expectations of conduct of Move, the program could continue to be what’s rather expected from a new star of the show. The future ‘new’ Match of the Day will likely be a significant shift from the valued change. The following modernization and the BBC’s, independent review of worth will be the time of continuation into latter days and must. Some actors of the current trail are already affected but what the expected final of BBCs and its possible favorite show will be shaping how UK people will watch sports events throughout decades yet to come.
