General Details of BBC Coverage:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/worldcup2014/television
Presenting from the FIFA studio with a backdrop of Rio de Janiero’s famous Copacabana Beach, Gary Lineker leads a stellar team of pundits, commentators and reporters who will take audiences to the heart of all the action, with 31 live games on television.
Live matches will be shown on BBC One and BBC One HD and the BBC Sport website, with simultaneous games on BBC Three and BBC Three HD and the red button. BBC Two and BBC Two HD will host a morning catch-up highlights programme and full match replays of the game of the day. The coverage across channels adds up to over 160 hours of domestic TV from Brazil, over 50% more than from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. There will also be four documentaries and a range of other World Cup related programmes on offer for viewers (see tab on additional programming for more information on these).
BBC coverage starts with a huge opening week of programming on BBC One and BBC One HD that includes documentaries hosted by David Beckham and Gary Lineker, England’s opening game and a raft of great live matches scheduled at 5pm, 8pm and 11pm.
Gary Lineker kicks off proceedings on Wednesday 11 June at 22.35 on BBC One and BBC One HD with a preview show of the very latest comment, analysis and predictions before the tournament starts the following day. Live football coverage starts on Friday 13 June with a repeat of the 2010 final as Spain take on the Netherlands, from 19.30 (KO 20.00). England’s long-awaited opening World Cup match against Italy will be live on BBC One and BBC One HD on Saturday 14 June from 22.20 (KO 23.00). And the climax of the opening week provides the first sight of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, as he attempts to light up the iconic Maracana Stadium on Sunday 15 June as Argentina play debutants Bosnia-Herzegovinia (KO 23.00).
Gary Lineker leads the TV team and he will be joined by former England captain Rio Ferdinand, France legend and World Cup winner Thierry Henry, former Dutch international and current AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf, and Celtic manager and former Northern Ireland midfielder Neil Lennon.
They will work as expert pundits alongside MOTD regulars and former Internationals Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer, Robbie Savage, Danny Murphy and Phil Neville. Savage, Neville and Murphy are also on co-commentary duties with Mark Lawrenson, Martin Keown and Kevin Kilbane.
