For almost half a century, the BBC's broadcast schedule on a Saturday afternoon was both startlingly simple and comfortably unchanging. It amounted, in fact, to just a single word, one that somehow conveyed everything while telling viewers absolutely nothing. That word was Grandstand.
The program Grandstand was a cornerstone of British broadcasting, a national institution since its debut in 1958. While its schedule was consistent, the content varied from soccer to diverse sports like rugby, tennis, or badminton, catering to a broad audience in an era before on-demand TV.
