SUP TO SOMETHING Sky Sports ‘bring back iconic football show that ran for 20 years’ after it was axed in 2020

SKY SPORTS are set to bring a hugely popular format back to fans' screens, according to reports.

The broadcasting giant are reportedly planning on bringing back a Sunday media review show - similar to previous fan favourite show Sunday Supplement.

Sunday Supplement, which ran for 20 years, was axed by Sky Sports back in 2020.

But, according to the Mail Online, the company has now decided to resurrect the format, but won't be bringing the name back to life with it.

Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too.

Despite its disappearance off screens five years ago, Sky still gave fans a taste of the show in podcast form in the years since.

It's claimed that Sky Sports are expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks.

Sky Sports declined to comment when approached by SunSport.

Sunday Supplement first formed part of Sky's offering in 1999 under the name of Hold The Back Page.

The show was first hosted by former Match of the Day host Jimmy Hill, while other hosts over the years included Brian Woolnough and Neil Ashton.

And high-profile panelists involved in show included the likes of Henry Winter and Oliver Holt.

Sky pointed to the congested football calendar following Covid-19 as one of the reasons they chose to take Sunday Supplement off air.
