Sky to axe Soccer AM after nearly 30 years on air

Cult football programme Soccer AM is being cancelled by Sky after almost 30 years on air. The broadcaster has made the decision due to failing ratings.

The show will run until the end of the season with just a few episodes remaining. Staff were told on Tuesday that the 90-minute comedy talk show would be getting axed, The Mirror reports, along with a round of redundancies taking place.

Sky will replace Soccer AM with the programme Saturday Social, which was previously broadcast at 9:30am but will now go out an hour later. A spokesperson for Sky said: “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.
