History[edit]
Sportscene's predecessor was Sportsreel,[1] which was broadcast every Saturday at around 5pm (results and reports) and 10pm (highlights) in the 1960s. By the 1970s, a Sportscene format of a 5pm programme called Scoreboard, as a regional opt-out from Grandstand, plus a 10pm show with highlights from one English and one Scottish league or cup match, was established. Sportscene also covered European and international matches, which usually involved highlights but occasionally live coverage. The show was presented by Archie Macpherson with commentary by Macpherson, Alastair Alexander or Peter Thomson.
Shows[edit]
Sportscene set at BBC Scotland's Pacific Quay HQ.
There are a number of shows that come under the Sportscene brand.
Sportscene is broadcast on Sunday nights on BBC One Scotland and is presented by Jonathan Sutherland. The show produces highlights of all the week's matches from the Scottish Premiership. Sutherland is joined by two studio guests (almost always Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart) who discuss the results. Guests have included Pat Nevin and Packie Bonner. Commentators include Rob Maclean, Liam McLeod, Paul Mitchell, John Barnes and Alasdair Lamont.
Sportscene Results is broadcast on Saturday afternoons on BBC One Scotland. The show rounds up all of the day's main football scores, whilst debating the major Scottish football stories of the week. It sends reporters to every game in the Scottish Premiership, certain games in the Scottish Championship, as well as Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup games. BBC Scotland had historically produced some sort of Saturday teatime results round-up as an opt-out from Grandstand but in 1989 a new programme, Afternoon Sportscene, launched. It ran for the entire duration of the time allocated for the day's results, starting at some point between 1 and 5 minutes before the network aired English counterpart Final Score. At the start of the 2001/02 season the programme was renamed Sportscene Results to co-inside with the programme, and Final Score, becoming programmes in their own right. Sportscene Results is presented by David Currie previous presenters have included Bill McFarlen, Rob Maclean, Dougie Donnelly, Dougie Vipond and Stuart Cosgrove. The show gives football experts like Pat Nevin and Tony Higgins an opportunity to give their views on the days results and the past week of football.
Sportscene Live is the name used for all live football matches broadcast by BBC Scotland. Coverage includes both Scottish cup competitions (the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup) and Scotland matches.- All other football related programming is simply branded as Sportscene. This includes highlights packages and other one-off specials.
