The BBC have reportedly axed Match of the Day spin-off MOTDx.<\/p>\n

The show was launched in 2019 as part of the Beeb's push to target a younger audience. Hosted by Jermaine Jenas, it mixed Premier League coverage with celebrities, music, fashion and culture.<\/p>\n

But the Thursday evening time slot, initially on BBC Two before being moved to the re-launched BBC Three, didn't prove a hit, and the show has now been quietly cancelled, according to The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

As well as the Champions League, TNT Sports will also be offering sports fans access to games across the Premier League, Europa League, Serie A and much more.<\/p>\n

You can also watch the biggest events in boxing, UFC, WWE and get exclusive action from MLB.<\/p>\n

A BBC spokesperson told the publication the decision had been made prior to the start of this season so wasn't reflective of how it had performed in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made some changes to our football output this season which means we will be producing even more digital content for audiences across BBC Sport platforms," they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst we are proud of MOTDx and would like to thank everyone involved, it will no longer continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes after reports emerged last month that Football Focus, the BBC's Saturday lunchtime football programme of 22 years, has lost a third of its viewership. Crisis talks were held but in a statement sent to Daily Star Sport<\/b>, a spokesperson insisted it wasn't at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball Focus continues to herald the start of a whole weekend packed full of sporting coverage for fans across BBC Sport, including radio, our website and Player," they said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeek-on-week it is the most watched programme during that time slot and iPlayer viewing figures are also strong, so we know its popularity is enduring for fans, wherever they choose to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
