User:Nfitz/The Footy Show (Canadian TV program)

The Footy Show was a Canadian soccer news television program that was broadcast on The Score Television Network from 2007 to 2013. It aired twice a week on The Score, both times at 6 o'clock pm. The program featured James Sharman and Kristian Jack, who previewed upcoming games, reviewed past matches, talked about soccer news around the world, and answered questions from the public. Brian Budd also appeared until his death in 2008. The Score also hosted the eponymously named podcast, which had 703 episodes.

During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, The Score expanded the show to a nightly edition, with the addition of broadcaster Sid Seixeiro, under the title World Cup Tonight; a prominent segment involved Kristian Jack's explanation of team tactics using a Subbuteo table top game.

The future of the program was thrown into doubt when Rogers Media (owner of Sportsnet) bought The Score Television Network, as Sportsnet already had 2 soccer shows, Soccer Central and Soccer Central Matchday. Brendan Dunlop was then moved from The Footy Show to Soccer Central, and then Sharman began appearing on the show, and when Sportsnet officially took full control, The Footy Show ceased to air.
