Match of the Day begins 22 August 1964
The first regular football programme on television, Match of the Day, began on 22 August 1964, at the start of the 1964-65 season. The identity of the match – Liverpool v Arsenal - was kept secret until 4pm, by agreement with the Football League, who feared crowds would stay at home to watch it. Nearly an hour of highlights of the game was shown, which was won by Liverpool 3-2. Commentary was by Kenneth Wolstenholme and Walley Barnes.
