BBC presenting duties to be shared for World Cup – but who will host the final?
AI Summary
The BBC will divide World Cup presenting duties among Kelly Cates, Gabby Logan, and Mark Chapman, ensuring equal airtime for each. This follows their shared role on Match of the Day after Gary Lineker's departure. While the trio will collectively cover the tournament in Mexico City, a decision has not yet been made regarding who will host the final. Lineker, despite leaving the BBC, will also be involved in World Cup coverage through his podcast with Netflix. The BBC's plans coincide with data suggesting their revamped Match of the Day format is showing positive results, with digital engagement increasing despite a slight dip in traditional TV viewership. The BBC will not cover expenses for its presenters' work on rival podcasts.
