10728-400: The end of analogue broadcasting. Between 1973 and 1977, BBC1 achieved an average audience share of 45% under Bryan Cowgill . This was the channel's most successful period in terms of audience share. On 30 December 1980, the BBC announced plans to introduce a new breakfast television service to compete with TV-am . They stated that the new show would be broadcast before TV-am but included

10877-566: The end of the day’s games, at just after 5:10   pm. On 12 August 2014, Sky Sports launched Sky Sports News HQ and at this point decided to stop showing the raw feed as from this date and competitions where only half time/full time scores were provided stopped being shown. Consequently information about all Welsh, Irish and women's football, all non-national non-league football in both England and Scotland and all reserve and youth football stopped being seen by viewers. Also at this time, Sky Sports started using its own competition codes. Sky Sports

11026-469: The exception of the national and regional Conference leagues, all non-league information was removed as were the scores from all the other minor, reserve and youth league and cup competitions, Also removed was information from the women's game, from Welsh and Northern Irish cup competitions and all information from games in the Republic of Ireland . Other changes saw the replacement of the competition codes with

11175-446: The feed to ensure that only results were shown once the results started to come in. In January 1999, the BBC started to display the vidiprinter at the bottom of the screen during the half-time scores sequence although generally only during the first part of this sequence, i.e. just when the Premier League reports were shown. From this time, the late goal flashes started to appear in the full-time vidiprinter section of Final Score, which

11324-471: The feeder leagues dropping below them. There are two promotion places to the National League's top division from each regional division – the champions are promoted automatically, while the remaining place is again decided by semi-final play-offs and a promotion final. The four teams relegated from the National League (i.e. the highest division) are then allocated to one or other of the regional divisions dependent on their geographical location. In May 2017,

11473-470: The first Independent Television (ITV) station, began to broadcast on 22 September 1955. The competition quickly forced the channel to change its identity and priorities, following a large reduction in its audience, as noted in the 1962 Pilkington Report on the future of broadcasting. Simultaneously, the Pilkington Report decided to award an additional television station to the BBC on the basis that ITV

11622-503: The first former Premier League side to compete in the National League and by extension, any non-League competition, following a home defeat by Salford City, in 2022. Prior to 1987, for National League clubs to enter the EFL, they had to be elected by League members. As a consequence, there was no guarantee that winning the National League would result in promotion, and none of the league's first eight champions were promoted. This changed in 1987, when automatic promotion and relegation between

11771-432: The first team to win the Promotion Final. Prior to 2004, relegation from the National League meant dropping to one of the three feeder leagues below. After Chester City failed to avoid expulsion in 2010, three teams were relegated instead of four, to either the Northern Premier League , Southern League or Isthmian League , based on geographical criteria. In turn, the champions of these three leagues would be promoted to

11920-457: The first television broadcaster to include European league scores and results on its on-screen vidiprinter, something that has been commonplace on internet vidiprinters for many years. BT Sport is also the only TV channel whose vidiprinter provides information on the FA Women's Super League . BT Sport Score ended at the conclusion of the 2022/23 season and its replacement, TNT Sports , does not show

12069-446: The first time and had a live in-vision presenter, similar to rival ITV's Children's ITV block which had been running since January 1983. Previously the BBC had broadcast children's programming using BBC1's team of regular duty announcers. The launch presenter for this block, and thus the first Children's BBC presenter of the current format, was Phillip Schofield . On 23 May 1986, long-running lunchtime magazine show Pebble Mill at One

12218-519: The first time since the rival channel had launched in 1955, although much of this was down to the success of the channel's daytime television line-up, which had its own Controller: Jane Lush . When Heggessey arrived at the channel in November 2000, she inherited two controversial schedule changes which had been implemented the previous month, at the behest of Director-General of the BBC Greg Dyke ;

12367-541: The first time. The leagues covered at the same five that Sky Sports features on Sundays - the German, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch leagues. The Welsh premier League continues to be includes but the Northern Irish Premiership is still not featured, despite the results being included in the classified check. Until the start of the 1990s, incoming rugby results would appear alongside football scores. However by

12516-476: The first variation. A Scottish variation launched on 14 January 2013, followed by a Welsh variation on 29 January 2013. On 16 July 2013, the BBC indicated that it also wants to launch regional variants of BBC One HD across England; however, this would require the approval of the BBC Trust, with a proposal due to be presented within six months. On 18 November 2013, the Northern Irish regional variant of BBC One HD

12665-431: The formation of the National League, but are now back in the National League or its feeder leagues (Scarborough and Maidstone now in new incarnations). Of the 20 founder members, the last to leave the fifth level were Northwich. They were relegated in 2005, a year after the demise of Telford. Barnet are the only founder member who have remained in the top five levels continuously since 1979. Bangor City have since moved to

12814-645: The launch of the HD channels, this also means the closure of the SD channels. SD channels are shut on satellite 24 hours after the launch of the HD channel, and are moved up to the Channel 1/Channel 101 slot on the EPG. Viewers with older standard definition set-top boxes will no longer be able to receive BBC One. All BBC satellite channels in standard definition have closed on 8 January 2024. National League (football) The National League

12963-482: The leagues, so to speak) so as to maintain numerical balance between North and South. Due to financial constraints at this level of football, some clubs have escaped relegation despite finishing in a relegation position, due to the misfortune of others. For promotion to proceed, whether from the National League to the EFL, within the National League, or between the various leagues of the NLS, certain conditions concerning finances and facilities must be met. Failure to meet

13112-470: The letter 'E'. However in 2017 some of this information was restored. Scores and results from the National League (including the North and South divisions), Welsh Premier League and the Northern Ireland Premiership along with goal flashes and sendings-off from all of those leagues was re-instated. This is the first time that a vidiprinter on television has shown the scorers and sendings-off from

13261-407: The live and exclusive UK television rights to thirty matches per season from the Conference Premier for a total of three seasons. The thirty matches selected for broadcast included all five Conference Premier matches culminating in the Promotion Final itself. The deal with the then-Football Conference was a revenue sharing arrangement whereby clubs received 50% of revenue from subscriptions, on top of

13410-552: The lowest common denominator to increase viewership. Reliance on docusoaps and the dropping of the vilified Noel's House Party were chastened by the hoax guests on The Vanessa Show . Alan Yentob said "The spring package is to remind people of what the BBC is here for, range and ambition you won't find anywhere else at peak time". The changes helped the channel distinguish itself from (as one BBC executive said) "its down-market rival and would not compete for viewers on ITV's terms." Lorraine Heggessey became Controller of BBC One,

13559-518: The national version of BBC One in High Definition, with HD versions of programmes including Doctor Who , Holby City , The One Show , Strictly Come Dancing and The Apprentice . EastEnders was also made available in HD from Christmas Day 2010. All programmes still made in standard definition were upscaled on the channel, with the intention that by 2012 the vast majority of the channel's output would be in high definition. On 30 May 2012,

13708-460: The new productions. The savings were seen as a vindication for Producer Choice, the controversial internal market introduced in April 1993. By March 1999, the channel admitted defeat in its ratings war with ITV, with its spring line up emphasising more on serious factual and educational programmes, and drama. This change in strategy came about after continuing complaints that the channel was appealing to

13857-402: The normal rights fee paid by the broadcaster, once the costs of production were met. The Conference also earned 50% from all internet revenue associated with the deal and allowed them to retain advertising rights allied to those adverts shown with their matches. During the 2010–11 season, Premier Sports failed to attract enough viewers to its Conference football broadcasts to share any revenue with

14006-487: The number of candidates applying to join the Football League under the re-election system then in use. It was also thought it would enable the strongest non-league candidate to emerge. In 1977 the Northern Premier and Southern Leagues agreed to only put forward one candidate each for election to the League and this proved successful with Wimbledon and Wigan Athletic gaining election to the League in 1977 and 1978. It

14155-490: The one hand it is inevitable. But it is dismissive of children. There is a certain amount of overlooking of the fact that children's programmes do get a wider audience than people are aware of ... I have frequently had letters from older people who have enjoyed my programmes as much as children do. A lot of the reason older people like to watch children's programming is because it is life-enhancing." Head of BBC Children's, Joe Godwin said: "Our young viewers are our priority and

14304-517: The only team in history to retain the title, as at the time there was no automatic promotion to the EFL. One former National League club has reached the Premier League , although six such clubs did compete in the top tier of football prior to the Premier League, in the Football League First Division : Carlisle United , Leyton Orient , Oxford United , Luton Town , Grimsby Town , and Notts County . All of them have since returned to

14453-454: The output of commercial rivals, and during Heggessey's era the channel frequently came under attack for being too populist and not providing enough serious programming. Immediately after her arrival, Heggessey ordered a review of the "Balloon" idents the channel had been using for its between-programme idents since 1997. In her opinion, the balloon was "slow and distant" and so, on 29 March 2002, after much speculation, she decided to abandon

14602-434: The period when the full-time scores were coming in. In August 1998, Sports Saturday became Soccer Saturday . The live sports action was dropped and was replaced by a football-only afternoon-long rolling service of scores, comments, reports, results and interviews. From this point the vidiprinter was on-screen from 3   pm until 4:55   pm although the vidiprinter disappeared between 3:50   pm and 4   pm for

14751-437: The printer had been replaced by an on-screen computerised version and was renamed the vidiprinter but the letter-by-letter typing format continued until the end of the 2000–01 season. The teleprinter/vidiprinter was on-screen for around eight minutes at full-time, from just after 4:40   pm until enough of the major results were in to provide the full classified check at around 4:50   pm. Late goal flashes were omitted from

14900-449: The relegated club joins is made by the FA's NLS Committee, but is largely determined by geography. The four relegated teams are replaced by four promoted teams, two from National League North and two from National League South. For each of these two leagues, this is the champions and the winners of their respective Promotion Finals between their second to seventh place clubs in those divisions. At

15049-483: The relegated clubs join, and whether the promoted clubs join National League North or National League South. Clubs relegated from the national division are not always geographically balanced. Thus, should it be deemed necessary, the NLS Committee may order one or more clubs from northern counties bordering the south and vice versa or from South Wales in the sixth tier to switch divisions (to move "horizontally" between

15198-463: The requirements of the league concerned prevents the eligible club from being promoted. The National League North and South expanded to 24 teams each in the 2022–23 season. Expansion was scheduled at first for 2020–21 until its implementation was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic in England . It was fulfilled at the end of 2021–22. The National League was formed in 1979 from leading teams in

15347-545: The results were coming in and it wasn't until the end of the decade that the vidiprinter was on-screen from the start of the programme until the classified results at 5   pm. As with Final Score , the vidiprinter seen on BBC Scotland historically took the raw feed but in November 2013, two weeks after Final Score launched an edited version, BBC Scotland followed suit. All English non-League scores, as well as all Welsh and Irish scores, were removed. BBC Scotland also started using its own codes, prefixing all English games with

15496-564: The rights to broadcast the show in the UK for two years. The Voice UK achieved good ratings for the BBC but ratings dropped towards the end of the first series and the second series. In 2013, The Voice UK was rescheduled to avoid a clash, and as a result, ratings have improved. In November 2015, it was announced that The Voice UK would be moving to ITV from 2017, especially because of the ITV plc ownership of franchise owner, Talpa Media . On 8 October 2013,

15645-545: The satellite and terrestrial resolution was increased to full HD . BBC One HD at launch did not offer regional variations, and therefore the channel could not broadcast during regional programming slots, most noticeably the local news programmes. The BBC Trust admitted that this was due to technical and financial constraints, but the BBC announced on 6 June 2011 that the national variations of BBC One Northern Ireland, BBC One Scotland and BBC One Wales, would become available from 2012. On 24 October 2012, Northern Ireland received

15794-433: The semi-finals. These proposals were approved at the National League's annual general meeting on 10 June. In 2019, plans were discussed for the gradual restructuring of the NLS so that the North and South divisions were expected to expand to 24 teams each in 2021–22. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England , the 2020–21 National League North and South seasons were curtailed and voided after written resolutions were put to

15943-555: The series as "a joyful, exuberant reinvention and a fine legacy from Ms Heggessey." Heggessey did later concede in a 2005 interview with The Independent newspaper that arts programming had suffered a cutback under her control of BBC One. However, she did respond to this omission following criticism from the Board of Governors of the BBC by commissioning programmes such as the arts documentary series Imagine... (2003–present) and A Picture of Britain (2005). On 14 February 2005 it

16092-464: The series in September 2003, after Heggessey had spent two years persuading the BBC's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide , to abandon their attempts to make a feature film version of the programme and allow it to instead return it to BBC One. The new version of Doctor Who (2005–present) debuted on 26 March 2005 and became a critical and popular hit, with Paul Hoggart of The Times newspaper describing

16241-498: The seventh club to win the National League twice (1988, 2017), but subsequent to Barnet's third title. Only Barnet were promoted to the EFL on all three occasions; Maidstone's first title came before the era of automatic promotion, while Kidderminster Harriers, Macclesfield Town and Stevenage Borough were denied promotion because their grounds were not up to the required standard at the time of their first win. However, all three were promoted when they took their second title. Altrincham are

16390-507: The start of the 2023/24 season. This vidiprinter also features the five European leagues seen on the linear channel on Sunday afternoons, along with Major League Soccer . ITV never broadcast a teleprinter/vidiprinter during the days of World of Sport or its replacement results programme Results Service . However, when ITV2 launched in December 1998, a football scores programme was broadcast, called Football First , which in August 2001

16539-479: The strategy of experimenting with the BBC One schedule. This he continued in January 2007, when he moved the current affairs series Panorama from its Sunday night slot back to the prime time Monday evening slot from which it had been removed in 2000, most likely in response to a demand from the Board of Governors of the BBC for the channel to show more current affairs programming in prime time. Fincham's judgement

16688-412: The team news feed was not shown. In around 2008, the entire programme became part of Final Score . In November 2007 a midweek version of Final Score was launched. This is a simulcast of BBC Radio 5 Live with the vidiprinter shown on-screen and is called Midweek Final Score . This was the first time that the BBC had shown the vidiprinter on midweek evenings. Originally on air throughout the programme,

16837-402: The three divisions. On 30 July 2024, it was announced that DAZN would become the global home of the National League. This deal would involve all 557 National League matches, as well as a significant selection of National League North and National League South matches being streamed to over 200 countries, including the UK, on an exclusive basis. The deal is a seven-year deal that will run until

16986-467: The time Michael Grade and Jonathan Powell were blamed for the decision (Grade was the target of death threats ) but it was later revealed that the decision was taken due to the series running out of creative inspiration, making it impossible to find anyone (at the time) who knew what to do with the series. On 9 September 1985, the long-standing children's programming block was overhauled and rebranded as Children's BBC , which gave it dedicated idents for

17135-419: The top of the National League System (NLS), a comprehensive structure linking together over 50 different leagues under the auspices of The Football Association (FA). The National League is at Step 1 of the NLS, and National League North and National League South make up Step 2 . Above the National League are the 92 clubs that together make up the highest levels of English football, the Premier League and

17284-427: The typing format with a much faster ticker-tape style and over the next two seasons, the vidiprinter was on screen for the entire half time round-up and also on the bottom of the screen during the final few minutes of Grandstand prior to the start of Final Score. In August 2003, the BBC started broadcasting the vidiprinter continually from 15 minutes before kick-off until the major full times were in. However, this service

17433-442: The vast majority of children in the UK already tune in to CBeebies and CBBC to find their favourite BBC children's programmes. Far from being a 'cynical' move, we're just following where our audience has already gone." As part of the review in 2012 other changes were brought in, including: In 2012, the BBC out-bid ITV for the rights to air a British version of Dutch TV talent show The Voice . The BBC paid £22 million for

17582-481: The vidiprinter feed often fed through team news as it became available to the Press Association for the period prior to kick-off. The following season, BBC Sport decided to broadcast a full scores programme in its own right. Called Score , it ran between 2:30   pm and 6   pm with the 4:30   pm to 5:15   pm segment simulcast on BBC One. However, the vidiprinter did not appear until 3   pm and

17731-411: The vidiprinter feed unedited since the teleprinter was first seen on air during the earliest days of Grandstand . For the 2016/17 season, goal flashes from the Welsh Premier League were reinstated but the 2017/18 season saw further reductions. The regional National League divisions were removed as was the FA Trophy , Irish Premiership and the Welsh Premier League although the Welsh Premier League

17880-430: The vidiprinter is now only seen when the evening's games are in progress. On 26 October 2013, Final Score stopped showing the vidiprinter feed as provided by Opta Sports and decided to create its own edited version. This had been common practice on the internet for many years but this was the first time that a broadcaster chose to do this. The main change was a massive reduction in the number of competitions covered. With

18029-405: The vidiprinter is onscreen from the start of the programme until the start of the classified results at just after 5   pm. There are also various versions of the vidiprinter on the internet. As well as English and Scottish football, The Sporting Life's website vidiprinter features league, but not Cup, scores and results from many global leagues. The Sky Sports online vidiprinter largely mirrors

18178-469: The vidiprinter onscreen whilst the channel broadcasts its classified check and sometimes it stays on screen when the presenter goes through the updated league tables. The vidiprinter is also seen when a lot of midweek games are being played. Since 1998 Sky Sports has broadcast a midweek version of Soccer Saturday , Soccer Special , and the vidiprinter is on screen from 7:45   pm until around 9:45   pm (later on English Cup nights). The BBC also shows

18327-613: The vidiprinter seen on Sky Sports News , although it does not include scores from the women's game, and the Football Web Pages vidiprinter includes scores, results and scorers from steps 2, 3 and 4 of the non league pyramid and expanded its coverage at the start of the 2019/20 season to include the women's game, the Welsh Premier League and nine European competitions. This is the only vidiprinter to include steps 3 and 4 (the Isthmian, Northern Premier and Southern Leagues). As of mid 2017,

18476-436: The vidiprinter's inception until the end of the 2012/13 season. The contract was taken over by Opta Sports from the start of the 2013/14 season, and Opta has provided the service ever since. The BBC and Sky Sports show a vidiprinter during their scores and results programmes. Their vidiprinters appear at the start of the 3   pm kick-offs until just after 5   pm when all the results are in although Sky Sports keeps

18625-543: The vidiprinter, translated into Welsh. It was displayed on the bottom of the screen during the actual match as well as during the build-up and at half time. The vidiprinter was edited to include only the matches in Wales and the major games in England. Scottish games and English non league matches are removed from S4C's vidiprinter service. ESPN UK did not broadcast a live scores programme and therefore did not show an on-screen vidiprinter and initially BT Sport also did not provide

18774-433: The weeks leading up to 15 November 1969, BBC1 unofficially transmitted the occasional programme in its new colour system in order to test it. At midnight on 15 November, simultaneously with ITV and two years after BBC2 had done so, BBC1 officially began 625-line PAL colour programming on UHF with a broadcast of a concert by Petula Clark . Colour transmissions could be received in monochrome via monochrome 625-line sets until

18923-546: The word "The" and moved into the BBC logo. Each new campaign incorporating the theme retained the same animated sequence. In May 2007, Fincham decided to drop Neighbours , an Australian soap opera, from BBC One after 21 years on the channel, when its producers, FremantleMedia significantly raised the price they wanted the BBC to pay for it in a bidding war. Fincham commented that it was 'a big loss', but that BBC One would not pay 'the best part of £300 million'. Neighbours left

19072-502: The £18 million salary that the BBC paid Jonathan Ross in 2006, although Ross's BBC One work—primarily consisting of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross —formed only part of his overall BBC commitment. The channel was named Channel of the Year at the 2007 Broadcast Awards. Following its rebrand in March 2002, BBC One launched The One to Watch campaign, during which animated blocks created

19221-438: Was again called into question, this time by The Telegraph , for his decision to spend £1.2 million replacing the channel's 'Rhythm and Movement' idents , which had been introduced by his predecessor Lorraine Heggessey several years earlier, with the 'Circle' idents , a set of eight ten-second films, some of which were shot abroad in locations such as Mexico and Croatia. Fincham later found himself having to publicly defend

19370-518: Was announced that Lorraine Heggessey was to leave the BBC to take up the post of Chief Executive at production company Talkback Thames . She left on 15 April. Five months after her departure, BBC One was named "Channel of the Year" at the Edinburgh Television Festival , primarily on the strength of Heggessey's commissions such as Strictly Come Dancing and Doctor Who . Joining the channel as Controller in 2005, Peter Fincham oversaw

19519-553: Was broadcast for a few seasons on the weekends of the first and second rounds of the competition with the vidiprinter seen on-screen when the FA Cup games are in progress and in late 2020, Sky Sports News Sunday afternoon coverage, which airs between 12noon and 6pm and focusses on all of the day's sport as well as the afternoon's football, began displaying the vidiprinter throughout the programme. BBC Scotland broadcasts its own Saturday afternoon results programme, Sportscene Results , and

19668-430: Was broadcast for the last time after being on air for 14 years. On 27 October 1986, BBC1 launched its daytime television schedules. In a statement, BBC Daytime head Roger Laughton said: It was the natural extension of the corporation's commitment to public service broadcasting, since half the population had access to television during the day mainly the retired, unemployed and housewives. Stereo audio transmissions, using

19817-554: Was dropped in 2008. The vidiprinter was on-screen from the start of the programme until 5   pm. As with BBC Scotland, BBC Northern Ireland has always produced its own results programme. However it does not start broadcasting until after 5   pm, by which time the part of Final Score in which the vidiprinter is displayed has come to an end. Therefore, the Northern Ireland programme does not feature an on-screen vidiprinter. As part of its commencement of televising top flight football in England in August 1992, Sky Sports launched

19966-505: Was head of BBC Sport prior to 1981. The first major overhaul was to axe the unpopular Sixty Minutes current affairs programme: this was a replacement for the news and magazine show Nationwide . Its replacement was the BBC Six O'Clock News , a straight news programme in a bid to shore up its failing early evening slot. It was believed the BBC were planning to cut short the evening news and move more light entertainment programming in from

20115-601: Was in comparison lacking in serious programming. BBC Television became BBC1 when BBC2 launched on 20 April 1964, transmitting an incompatible 625-line image on UHF . The only way to receive all channels was to use a complex "dual-standard" 405- and 625-line receiver with both a VHF and a UHF aerial (405-line-only sets became obsolete in 1985 when VHF transmissions ended). BBC1 moved to purpose-built facilities at Television Centre on 20 September 1969. Television News continued to use Alexandra Palace as its base and by early 1968 had even converted one of its studios to colour. In

20264-487: Was just a case of where to put them." Wogan had been scheduled for a 10 pm slot, but Grade moved it to a 7 pm slot as he believed the show had potential. From February to August 1985, a high number of American mini-series were broadcast while filming took place of a number of new home grown programmes, including 'Allo 'Allo! , In Sickness and in Health , and Open All Hours . Further improvement came about when

20413-434: Was launched on 2 November 1936 under the name BBC Television Service , which was the world's first regular television service with a high level of image resolution . It was renamed BBC TV in 1960 and used this name until the launch of the second BBC channel, BBC2 , in 1964. The main channel then became known as BBC1. The channel adopted the current spelling of BBC One in 1997. The channel's annual budget for 2012–2013

20562-418: Was made clear "Children's programmes are absolutely fundamental to the BBC and that is why we have protected investment in them in the light of cuts elsewhere." Children's programming on BBC One ended on 21 December 2012. The move was criticised by Teletubbies co-creator Anne Wood , who described the changes as "ghettoising children's programmes" and believe it was merely a cost-cutting measure. Wood said "On

20711-603: Was modified to include the competition codes which Sky uses now being included with goal flashes and sending-offs. At this point, vidiprinter coverage of the early rounds of the Scottish Cup was removed. The 2024/25 season saw additional games kicking off at 12.30pm and the vidiprinter is now shown during those matches, from after the first commercial break after 12.30. However it disappears when those games are complete, returning at 3pm. The vidiprinter seen on Sky Sports has always exclusively focused on football although until 2009

20860-485: Was moved to a 19:30 slot, where it managed to soar to 20 million, helping the BBC1 audience share increase to nearly 50% for the first time since 1982. On 27 February 1985, Doctor Who was placed on an 18-month hiatus. The BBC originally planned to axe the series as they wished to spend its budgets on new programming for the channel, but was forced to back down from public pressure and Doctor Who returned in September 1986. At

21009-406: Was now generally onscreen for more than ten minutes, from around 4:45   pm until 5   pm because by now half time intervals at Premier League and Football League matches had been extended from 10 to 15 minutes.
