Sky Sports ‘bring back iconic football show that ran for 20 years' after it was axed in 2020
SKY SPORTS are set to bring a hugely popular format back to fans' screens, according to reports. The broadcasting giant are reportedly planning on bringing back a Sunday media review show - similar to previous fan favourite show Sunday Supplement. 1 Sunday Supplement, which ran for 20 years, was axed by Sky Sports back in 2020. But, according to the Mail Online, the company has now decided to resurrect the format, but won't be bringing the name back to life with it. Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too. Despite its disappearance off screens five years ago, Sky still gave fans a taste of the show in podcast form in the years since. It's claimed that Sky Sports are expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks. SunSport have approached Sky for comment. Sunday Supplement first formed part of Sky's offering in 1999 under the name of Hold The Back Page. The show was first hosted by former Match of the Day host Jimmy Hill, while other hosts over the years included Brian Woolnough and Neil Ashton. And high-profile panelists involved in show included the likes of Henry Winter and Oliver Holt. Sky pointed to the congested football calendar following Covid-19 as one of the reasons they chose to take Sunday Supplement off air.

EXCLUSIVE Sky Sports bring back hugely-popular football show - just five years after it was axed from their schedule
Sky are to bring back a Sunday media review show. Mail Sport revealed that the broadcaster was examining a return for a Sunday Supplement style programme, after the popular show was axed following a 20-year run in 2020. And it is understood that they have now decided to do so – and that the new arrival will be in place for the new season. Sky bosses are remaining tight-lipped on what the show will be called, but it will not resurrect the previous name. An announcement is expected in the coming weeks. The programme is set to follow a similar format to the original, and would centre around a review of the weekend's action along with a dissection of the major stories from industry insiders. Supplement was a staple on the broadcaster after hitting screens for the first time under the name of Hold The Back Page in 1999. Jimmy Hill was the original presenter, and was usually joined by three national newspaper journalists. In 2020, Jacqui Oatley became the show's first female presenter. However, later that year it was canned, with Sky blaming a congested upcoming season thanks to the knock-on effect of the coronavirus pandemic.
