The final Match of the Day 2 of the season was presented from Old Trafford this evening. Though presenting onsite is the usual practice for Sundays with only one game, I'm a bit surprised this did occur on the final edition of the season. I don't think 2 Good 2 Bad happens when the show is onsite usually, but it did today. Also, pundits Martin Keown and Shay Given were shown in the stand during the live coverage of the match earlier in the day.
I think today's Women's FA Cup coverage was the first BBC football output hosted by Gabby Logan this season. Per the ICDB website, her only football work since the Women's World Cup final has been four games for Amazon. Not sure why exactly this has been the case, but maybe the main host for the rest of this season, Alex Scott wasn't available today. Here's hoping Gabby is involved in the Euros in some cappacity, though with the European Athletics Championships and the Olympic almost bookending the tournament, she may not neccesarily appear.
Enjoyed the BBC Sport Wales boxing coverage yesterday. They showed two fights in the end, the main event between Price and McCaskill, and the last fight before that, which they joined almost immediately after coming on air at 9pm. I was surprised the BBC coverage used its own graphics on the fights themselves; I'm not sure how much use the BBC Sport boxing graphics below have been used, but they look nice enough. My main complaint would be that the names are just there, rather than having any colour indicator as is standard practice on other broadcasters; plus the BBC logo is a bit pointless there, but a common feature across most BBC Sport output.
BBC Wales was namechecked by the MC, along with Sky Sports and Peacock, with Sky Sports branding on the ring and the replay wipes being in the Sky style the only obvious indicators for a BBC audience that this wasn't exclusive. With Price's success, hopefully this arrangement won't be a one-off.
