BBC choose Warrington for live coverage

Warrington Town's FA Cup clash with Exeter City will be shown live on the BBC, netting the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League club a £67,500 TV windfall.

After being drawn at home to the League Two club in the First Round Proper in Monday's televised draw, the BBC's cameras will be at Cantilever Park on Friday 7 November with the winners set to collect a further £18,500 in prize money on top of their guaranteed television fee.

The Grecians have lost in in the First Round of the FA Cup in each of the last four seasons and the clash will kick off at 7.55pm on BBC Two's Match of the Day Live.

Shaun Reid's First Division North side beat North Ferriby United 1-0 last weekend to reach the First Round Proper for the first time in the club's history and the BBC announced at lunchtime that the fixture had been chosen to mark their return to live coverage of the FA Cup, the tie the first to be broadcast live on BBC TV since 2008.

The BBC’s FA Cup coverage over the weekend will also include a Football Focus on Saturday 8 November live from Weston-Super-Mare. There will also be an FA Cup Final Score from 1.55pm the following day on BBC One with cameras at eight FA Cup First Round ties. Sunday’s FA Cup action on the BBC will include a highlights show on BBC Two from 6.30pm.

BT Sport will kick off their FA Cup coverage with two live games - FC Halifax Town v Bradford City and Havant & Waterlooville v Preston North End.
