SOCCER AM IS set to be axed after 30 years of the iconic weekend football show.
The programme started on Sky Sports back in 1995 but will finish up at the end of the current season, with 10 episodes left to air.
“Soccer AM has played an important role in our coverage of football for the past three decades, and we continually adapt to the evolving needs of our customers,” a Sky spokesperson said, as quoted by TalkSport.
“We now go into a period of consultation to discuss the proposed changes with our people. We are unable to provide more detail while these consultations are underway.”
