Under the present deal with the BBC, the Football League Show occupies a graveyard slot after Match of the Day.  Whilst there is a repeat early on Sunday morning, times for this vary depending on other programmes and can be as early as 6.10 a.m.

ITN productions will film the games and Channel 5 is looking for a production partner.
