The BBC have decided not to send their presenters and pundits to the United States for their TV coverage of this week’s World Cup quarter-finals.
Having maintained throughout the tournament that their broadcast plans are flexible, the Beeb have now confirmed their studio panel will not travel Stateside until the semi-finals.
It means they will spend less than a week in the country at the licence-payers’ expense before returning home.
All three Match of the Day presenters, Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates, alongside pundits Wayne Rooney, Micah Richards and Joe Hart, will present live from the host cities for BBC TV and BBC Radio 5
To provide well-rounded coverage and a breadth of insight across various events, we rely on contributions from several staff writers, each bringing their own area of expertise to our publication.
