BBC axe Football Focus after 52 years of airtime

The BBC has announced that Football Focus will be axed after 52 years at the end of the season - amid long-running accusations that it has gone woke .The show has been a Saturday lunchtime staple since 1974, but in recent years viewing figures have dwindled as it has been criticised for being increasingly frivolous and right-on.As bosses scrambled to modernise and keep the programme relevant, they were accused of making the programme pedestrian, vacuous, uninspiring and uninformative - with host Alex Scott coming in for particular criticism.
