About
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra History, Coverage, Features
BBC Radio 5 Live is the BBC’s dedicated sports radio service. The station’s service was launched in March 1994 via analogue radio in AM or medium wave as a news service. On February 2, 2002, the service was launched as a digital-only platform. It added digital radio, television and internet streaming in recent years. Its content may also be available on BBC’s iPlayer for over a month after its initial broadcast.
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra is a digital radio station which extends the sports coverage aired by BBC Radio 5 Live. All facilities, presenters and management are shared by both radio stations.
Unlike its sister radio network, Radio 5 Live Sports Extra is only available on digital radio, television platforms and online. It does not feature on traditional radio or via international streaming.
Since BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra covers overflow sports content, the station has made a name for itself covering Major League Baseball games, Formula One motor racing, Grand Slam tour coverage, National Hockey League matches, cricket tournaments and NFL games. Added to that, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra covers Premier League games that overlap with BBC Radio 5 Live’s coverage, as well as international games featuring UK teams.
BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra stands out for one specific reason: it is one of a few BBC stations that stands as a part-time service, unlike many other stations that work 24/7. All broadcasts on this station are live and uninterrupted, contrary to what happens on Radio 5 Live, where there may be news bulletins between shows.
