Sportsnight Sportsnight Sportsnight was a midweek BBC television sports programme that ran from 1968 until 1997. "Sportsnight" was a successor to "Sportsview" which started on 8 April 1954. "Sportsview" was devised by Paul Fox, later Controller of BBC1 and Peter Dimmock was the original host for a decade (and did host occasional editions from 1964-68) . The BBC Sports Personality of the Year award evolved as a spin-off from "Sportsview" when the last show of its inception year featured the "Sports Review of 1954". Frank Bough took over as main host in 1964 and "Sportsview" was replaced by "Sportsnight with Coleman"
