Late Kick Off complements coverage of the Football League which returned to the BBC in August for the first time since 1988 with the network highlights programme, The Football League Show, along with live coverage of two Carling Cup semi-finals and the final.
David Holdsworth, BBC controller of English Regions, said: “Late Kick Off is good news for Football League fans who'll get to see more of their local teams on television but in a way they may not have seen before.
“They'll get to see the goal action but we'll also examine stories and issues of the day from a different perspective, providing high quality sports journalism. Added to that we will be going behind the scenes at the clubs giving an insight in to what really goes on, with access to players, managers and backroom staff.”
