New Match of the Day presenters announced - Match of the Day presenters: Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan to host MOTD

I personally think Gabby, Kelly and Mark will do a great job.......

Thoughts?

Good choices. Think it makes sense to not have a single presenter as there's now so many non-saturday games its not really the flagship show it once was.

Much better option to have a pool of presenters working across both the weekend editions and midweek shows.

Also means its not such a big deal when someone leaves in the future.

Looks like Cates gets to keep her Sky job as well, must have a good agent.

The vastly experienced sports presenter daughters of former top flight players and the man who did MOTD2

All choices you can't fault really.

It's routinely one of the top 50 most-watched shows in any given week.

Yes - it wasn't the case for the last week of BARB numbers because of competition from things like NYE special programming and other Christmas repeats etc. But most weeks during the season it's in the top 50 or higher.

You get the idea. Other episodes finish higher; sometimes it doesn't crack the top 50

Not sure what the debate is - as far as sports programs on FTA TV go, it's by far the most popular and the only one to feature on a list typically dominated by soaps, game shows and reality TV.

If you haven't seen all the football highlights you need by 11pm on a Saturday you are living in a cave
