Why is he on every show? He is even touted to be the next match of the day host, not sure why
Because the BBC is all about the yoof and the bantz these days. You only need to look at their sport website compared to how it was even 5 years ago. The live text commentary full of banter and embedded tweets instead of just professionally relaying the action. #ohmydays! #scenes!
There’s been a conscious decision by the beeb the past few years to appeal to a different demographic. Gone are the articulate, measured, mature analysts and reporters and commentators - now we’re in the age of Jenas and Savage et al. #topbins. It wouldn’t surprise me if TMS do away with Agnew etc and replace them with Flintoff & Jenas. “The Freddie & JJ cricket show”.
(Obviously I’m an old man shouting at a cloud and not the target demographic, but I still find it a shame that I barely want to watch any sport with the sound on these days, or watch the analysis/discussion, or read the BBC site.)
