Channel 7 have announced that their Monday Night footy show “Talking Footy” will not be returning in 2021.
The show was one of many sacrifices in 2020 as the global pandemic took over and the AFL headed into hubs for the season.
Channel 7 opted to remove both Talking Footy and Sunday morning program “Game Day” from its scheduling in 2020, with the former now ruled out of a return for this year.
Managing Director Lewis Martin confirmed the decision on SEN Breakfast this morning, but hinted the network had further plans in store for viewers.
“No (it won’t be back this year), but stand by for a couple of announcements because we’re certainly building into a pretty substantial footy magazine offering across the coverage, but not Talking Footy coming back, no,” Martin said.
