BBC Sports Report: A Celebration of the World's Longest-Running Sports Radio Programme
BBC Sports Report by veteran sports journalist Pat Murphy is the definitive celebration of one of Britain's great broadcasting institutions. First aired in 1948, Sports Report became the world's longest-running sports radio programme and an essential part of Saturday listening for generations of sports fans. Spanning almost 75 years, the book tells not only the story of a remarkable programme but also the changing story of sport and the way it has been reported to millions of listeners.
A contributor to Sports Report since 1981, Murphy draws on unique access to the BBC Archives and the memories of commentators, reporters, presenters, producers and production teams. He recalls unforgettable broadcasts, famous sporting moments, challenging live interviews and the occasional hilarious mishap, while revealing the extraordinary work required to bring an unscripted live programme to air every Saturday. Rich in anecdotes and broadcasting history, BBC Sports Report is both an affectionate tribute to a much-loved radio institution and a fascinating chronicle of British sporting life. The book was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Sports Book Awards 2023.
