Score Interactive,
a brand new football scores, news and results programme, launches this
Saturday, 11 September.
Hosted by Ray Stubbs, Score Interactive can be
accessed by digital tv viewers by pressing the red button from 2.40pm
during Saturday's Grandstand (BBC ONE).
From 4.30 to 5.25pm it re-joins BBC ONE for Final
Score and then continues on BBCi until 6.00pm for post-match reaction
from players and managers.
Ray will be joined by a range of former footballers
including, on the first week, Garth Crooks, Gavin Peacock,
Lee Dixon and Gary Pallister to preview the games as they
kick off, and analyse all the scores, results and breaking news as it
happens.
Twenty BBC reporters will be based at football grounds
around the country, providing instant reports and news on the games
taking place, including one at each of the Premiership and Championship
games, with the remainder at the pick of the games from Leagues One
and Two.
Viewers will be invited to enter the discussion with
Ray and the panellists through email and text, with a weekly challenge
to beat the expert panel's score predictions.
Ray Stubbs says: "It's going to be great to follow
all the big football stories throughout the afternoon, from kick-off
to final score and beyond.
"Whether it's Arsenal, Millwall, Port Vale or Yeovil,
we'll have the latest news and scores, and a panel of top footballers
to give their opinion on the day's action."
Notes to Editors
Score Interactive is available to all digital television
viewers, through Digital Satellite, Digital Cable, or Freeview.
