Soccer Saturday reporters are being asked to reapply for their jobs as Sky Sports continues to make cuts following the decision to axe Soccer AM.
The news broke on Wednesday that Soccer AM will end in May after being discontinued by the broadcaster. The breakfast chat show has been a staple of Sky’s weekend offering since it was first broadcast in 1995.
Presenter Jimmy Bullard and his colleagues were understood to be “fuming” at the decision, which will make them redundant once they have broadcast the final 10 episodes. Sky will replace Soccer AM with the Saturday Social in its 10.30am slot on Saturday mornings – a call which was not well received by fans of the show.
