The world’s longest-running sports quiz show, A Question of Sport, has come to an end after 53 years on air. The BBC made the decision to cancel the show citing funding challenges as the main reason. The show, which debuted in 1970, featured various hosts throughout the years, including David Vine, David Coleman, Sue Barker, and the current host, Paddy McGuinness. Despite efforts to boost viewership, with guests such as Andrew Flintoff and Ashley Williams, the show struggled to maintain a substantial audience, with some episodes attracting less than a million viewers. The BBC emphasized the need to provide value for money to its license fee payers, leading to a reshuffling of programming priorities. While A Question of Sport is currently not in production, the BBC has expressed the possibility of reviving the series in the future.
