No, active consideration is allegedly being given to at least one presenter from BBC Sport in Manchester, including local lad - well he lives up the road from me even though he's from Hull - Damien Johnson, and perhaps a female former Children's TV presenter now into sport (and a favourite of Poddington apparently).
Obviously, Ronnie Moore would be the studio pundit, a better option than Steve Claridge.
Apparently there is some form of catch up iPlayer linked to Channel 5, according to Alan Biggs, plus there's the + 1hr channel (Channel 5+1 [?]). BTW, the BBC will launch one for BBC1 next year once they drop BBC3 from the broadcast platform, BBC1 +1.
So, 9.00pm on Saturday nights next season for what's known in the trade as "Appointment Television", or if you're a Wednesday fan, "Disappointment Television".
