That was probably true of They Think It's All Over and Room 101 except for Nick Hancock. I don't think the three TV production companies made the radio versions

I got the impression that Good Evening Britain was testing the water for a post match show that wasn't purely analysis of the game?
Surprised Sky haven't don't it with a Soccer AM spin off.

They did, more or less, the first appalling incarnation of Friday Night Football with Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley in 2016/17 was followed by In Off The Bar, a spin-off set in a pub with games and guests, produced by the Soccer AM team and introduced by Soccer AM's Adam Smith. But it was even worse than that incarnation of Friday Night Football, if you can imagine such a thing, the highlight being Alan Smith thinking he was off camera and looking thunderously unamused as Heavy D judged a beatboxing competition.

Sky did do a “Soccer PM” in December 2017, but it was a one-off.

I think In Off The Bar remains one of the worst things I've seen on television. A weak concept at best, paired with little actual content and even less of a budget. Post-pub television that never made it out of the pub. A poor man's NutsTV.

NXT & NXT UK were added today as per BT Sport WWE account, as an aside Monday Night Raw last night ended Sky Sports 30 year association with WWE. Smackdown on Friday will be BT Sport first programme.

That means that BT Sport will show RAW live, NXT live and SmackDown live each at 1am, with primetime replays the following evening. NXT UK is a taped show and currently airs on Thursday evening 8pm UK time on the WWE Network. I expect it will air at a similar time on BT Sport, possibly with the NXT replay following.

Indeed, but Fantasy Football on Radio 5 was completely different to the telly show, Skinner and Baddiel only appeared as guests rather than hosts and it was a straight chat about fantasy football. Frank said that when Newman and Baddiel dissolved, the Beeb still wanted to use David Baddiel and asked him what might be a good format, and he suggested they do a show based on fantasy football with his mate Frank. I don't think anyone other than Skinner and Baddiel was involved both in the radio and TV version.
Yes, it was Dominik Diamond who presented the Radio 5 version. The TV version was already on the air at this stage. I imagine if the original Radio 5 hadn’t been axed it would have continued, although they did let them finish off the season when 5 Live launched in 1994.
Fantasy Football started on Radio 5*, and then moved to BBC2, then ITV.
The original was an actual Fantasy Football League competition between celebrities, that format point got gradually lost over the series though
