Soccer AM.

Soccer AM is a British Saturday-morning football show presented by Helen Chamberlain and Andy Goldstein. It has been broadcast on Sky Sports 1 each Saturday morning of the football season since 1995 between 0900 and 1200. It is also simulcast on Sky One, since the spring of 2007 (although it was absent from Sky One at the start of 2007-08 season). The simulcast is possibly to grab the attention of non-subscribers to the Sky Sports service. It also shows on Sky's Sky Anytime service in a cut down version of around 50 minutes. This is available to view from the Monday after the show broadcasts until Saturday.

Tim Lovejoy transformed the show from a serious football programme to the current popular format when he took over as producer and presenter in 1996 and stayed on screen until Sky announced on June 5, 2007 that he had quit the show after eleven series as co-host. Sky announced Tim's replacement on June 22, 2007 as Andy Goldstein.

The success of Soccer AM has come from an eclectic mix of football, comedy and entertainment every week, and has seen its influence spread well beyond the world of football. Parts of the show have remained since the beginning, whilst new items have been introduced each season. In that respect, it is almost the same every week, the difference being new football footage and comedy skits. Every week sees a new group of celebrity guests, generally featuring at least one footballer who is free on the Saturday, and a mix of musicians, TV personalities and other sportsmen.
