The programme airs on Sunday mornings on [Sky Sports Premier League](/source/Sky_Sports) and Sky Sports Main Event, during the football [season](/source/season_(sports)). The length of the show is 90 minutes, including [commercials](/source/commercials), although it was occasionally cut down to 60 minutes. ==History== Launched under the stewardship of [Jimmy Hill](/source/Jimmy_Hill), three guest [football journalists](/source/sports_journalism) sit around a table over [breakfast](/source/breakfast)/[brunch](/source/brunch) and discuss the latest football matches, news and gossip, including a look at the football stories in the Sunday [newspapers](/source/newspapers).{{cite web|url=http://www.skymedia.co.uk/Advertising/TV/Sponsorship-Opps/sunday-supplement.aspx|title=Sunday Supplement|publisher=Sky Sports|date=2010-06-28}} The proposal was that it was set in Hill's actual [kitchen](/source/kitchen), with fans trying to guess where his home was from the window view.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/aug/17/sport.comment1|title=Jimmy Hill "only discovered that his contract with Sky Sports to present the Sunday Supplement programme was not being renewed when he read about it in a newspaper"|work=The Guardian|access-date=July 14, 2010 | location=London | first=Paul | last=Kelso | date=2007-08-19}} But the truth came to light on several occasions in 2006 when Hill was late claiming to be stuck in traffic.{{cite web |last1=Stead |first1=Matthew |title=Programme of the week: Sky's Sunday Supplement |url=https://www.football365.com/news/programme-of-the-week-sky-sports-sunday-supplement |website=Football365 |access-date=23 January 2023 |language=en |date=26 October 2018}}{{cite book |last1=Hill |first1=Jimmy |last2=Shaw |first2=Phil |title=The Jimmy Hill story: my autobiography |date=2016 |location=London |publisher=Hodder & Stoughton |isbn=978-1-4736-4268-3 |chapter=Epilogue}} The programme was the successor to the Friday night discussion show ''Hold the Back Page''. ==Revamp== In 2007, Sky Sports decided not to renew Hill's 12-month contract, which coincided with the removal of his name from the title. The presenter role was given to either Bill Bradshaw and [Brian Woolnough](/source/Brian_Woolnough). The format and setting remained consistent set over a breakfast/brunch table, but guest football journalists increased from two to three. Woolnough later took on the permanent presenter role, with regular guests including [Patrick Barclay](/source/Patrick_Barclay), [Oliver Holt](/source/Oliver_Holt), [Martin Samuel](/source/Martin_Samuel), [Paul Smith](/source/Paul_Smith_(journalist)) and [Henry Winter](/source/Henry_Winter). After Woolnough's death in September 2012, Neil Ashton went on to host the programme after having initially stood in during his predecessor's illness. On 12 January 2020, Ashton presented the show for the final time.{{cite web |title="It's your job now to get behind the new presenter."
