History

BBC Radio 5 Live Sport evolved from the Saturday afternoon radio sports programme Sport on 2 which started on BBC Radio 2 on 4 April 1970. It changed its name to Sport on 5 on 1 September 1990 following the transfer of BBC Radio Sport's coverage to a new network BBC Radio 5. The programme continued to be called Sport on 5 following the replacement of BBC Radio 5 in March 1994 with BBC Radio 5 Live. The 5 Live Sport name has been used since 2006.

Format

Original format

The original format featured the major sports events each Saturday afternoon, broadcasting between 1:30 pm and 5 pm, with updates from the major footballing fixtures and second half commentary on a top match. The location of the commentary game would usually be revealed around 3 pm. Sports Report followed Sport on 2/Sport on 5 at 5 pm.

Current format

The main focus of the programme, especially between August and May, is still on the football season, and in particular the Premier League. 5 Live Sport has live Premier League commentaries on Sundays at 2 pm and 4:30 pm and Mondays at 8 pm. They also have live commentaries from the Champions League and FA Cup. The programme also has extensive coverage of the England national team. Mark Chapman is the main presenter. Other major events such as the Six Nations and the Ashes are also aired. In the summer, major sporting events such as the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, Wimbledon and the Open are all given extensive coverage.
