Will Sky Sports kill MOTD?
Discussion
Now that sky put the footy highlights on for free after the game finishes immediately on YT, i dont see a need for it? I see why the Beeb would stop and broadcast some other sports that have been neglected? Surely the license payer isn't getting value of seeing something that is available for free?
Wasn't aware that SS were doing that - result.
Takes away the evening lottery though as to where your game will be.
Always found the MOTD format annoying anyway - 20 mins for the first game, rush through several more, some community stuff & then a few mins for the remaining games.
Just need West Ham to make the highlights worthwhile watching

I think MOTD is doing more to kill MOTD than anything Sky are doing. BBC generally have terrible pundits, who spout rubbish and add little to the game, whether as co commentator or in the studio. The fact that a lot of the commentary is recorded post the game as well makes it feel very scripted and the excitement very forced.
Then when they actually get a game, they bring in Keown....
I record MOTD and watch it in the morning while the kids have breakfast. I fast forward through the twoddle the guys talk of unless i want another look at an incident. If you want highlights of the game enough to not watch MOTD it has been available for a long time. MOTD will stay because of the tradition, but because of that, it is done in such a lazy way.

Are Sky putting up the highlights of every game, or just the ones they broadcast?
All - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNAf1k0yIjyGu3k9B...The worst thing they did to match of the day was put it on later on a Sunday morning. You either watch it late on a Saturday night and then have a lay in, or you used to watch it early on the Sunday morning whilst the kids were playing. It is now on about 9am which is little use to anyone. I don't want to be watching it until 1030 on a Sunday morning, I've got things to do!
I think it will harm BBC just like how F1 putting the highlights of qualifying/race on youtube within a couple of hours of it finishing has eliminated the need to watch the highlights on Channel 4 five hours later and avoid social media till that time.
Aside from that the younger generation don't seem to have the attention span to watch a 90 minute game without distraction so highlights help keep them engaged.

I stopped watching MOTD a couple of years ago when I discovered how much Gary Lineker is paid. Plus, now with the fact of the debacle of the over 75's licence fee........ I don't watch it for Lineker, he brings nothing to the table for me, so I usually watch GoS or MNF. They're much better shows.
