Soccer AM 'axed' after 28 years as legendary football show falls victim due to 'poor ratings'

Iconic TV programme Soccer AM is set to be axed after a 28-year spell as a result of poor television ratings, reports claim.

Having been a staple of any fans' match day since the beginning of the Premier League era, iconic hosts such as Tim Lovejoy, Helen Chamberlain, Max Rushden and Jimmy Bullard have all tried their hand at presenting the hit morning show, with Bullard and John 'Fenners' Fendley being the current hosts.

But with the rise of other shows and dwindling ratings, Sky bosses have now come down hard on the hit programme - with The Sun claiming that the legendary showing will see out its remaining 10 episodes for the season before removing itself from the start of next season's football calendar. Staff at the studios in West London were apparently told on Tuesday morning that the programme would be ending in the late stretches of May - with redundancies also in place once the season is over.
