The BBC Scotland channel is simulcasting BBC Radio Scotland's Open All Mics goals show for the first time this afternoon.

That looks pretty good and looks like it’s been laid out for TV. It’s using the Final Score/Sportscene Results graphic style. It could do with some extra graphics to highlights which game the reporter is commentating from. The name doesn’t exactly scream football show but I guess it was something that seemed like a good idea at the time. It’s something that really doesn't work in telling you it’s a football show and the vague pun only works if you’re aware of that particular bit of broadcasting terminology. I suppose that matters more when trying to catch eyes on an EPG rather than on a radio station where you’d expect that kind of programming on a Saturday afternoon.

It’s a good use of resources though and an easy way to create a high value TV show at little extra cost.
