Fans of English Football League (EFL) clubs will once again be tuning into a new show on a new channel to catch a glimpse of their team next season.
Down the years fans of clubs below the Premier League have constantly had to channel-hop, from the BBC to Channel 5 and most recently Quest. Now, the highlights show is hoping to put down firm roots as ITV picks up the baton. The new show, produced by IMG at the IMG studios with the rather formal title 'English Football League Highlights ', sees the EFL return to the channel after 13 years away.
The previous incarnation was called 'The Championship' and had a marmite reputation among fans. Some enjoyed the features within the show whilst others were critical not only of its Sunday morning scheduling but the constant advert breaks.
