Soccer AM faces axe after nearly 30 years on Sky Sports

Soccer AM is being axed after almost three decades, it's been reported. The Sky Sports show is understood to be coming to an end with only 10 episodes left, taking it to the end of the football season.

The programme's final episode would be on Saturday, May 27. The show - which became famous for blending football with laddish comedy and chat - first aired in 1995 and its longest-serving hosts were Helen Chamberlain and Tim Lovejoy, although it is now presented by John Fendley and Jimmy Bullard.

The Sun reports that staff were told on Tuesday about the decision. Redundancies were likely in May, the newspaper said.
