Soccer AM, the TV show that initially surfed the mid-90s boom in football and lads’ mags culture before becoming a well-loved staple of Sky Sports’ Saturday mornings, is to be scrapped after nearly 30 years.

Staff were told on Tuesday that the 90-minute programme, which launched in 1995, would end on 27 May. According to reports, Saturday Social, which previously aired before Soccer AM, will fill the vacant slot from next season with an aim of attracting younger viewers.
