BBC To Boost Its Sports Station

The BBC is planning a revision of its digital sports station 5 Live Sports Extra in a move that is likely to prove controversial with its commercial rivals.

5 Live management are understood to be considering a range of options including putting more sport on the station as well as other content from 5 Live and possible tie-ups with other stations, The Guardian reported today.

The station, which currently broadcasts on a part-time basis, is one of the BBC’s least listened to national services.
