BBC To Launch New Sports Show

BBC Sport is launching a new sports magazine show called Inside Sport, which will air for the first time on Monday 30 April at 11.05pm on BBC One.

The show will be presented by Gabby Logan and feature guest panellists including Steve Bunce, Tony Livesey and Des Kelly.

There will also be a second edition of the show on broadcast on Sunday mornings, presented live and featuring a longer version of the Monday night big interview, a newspaper review with the panelists, a feature re-run and any additional talking points from the week’s sport.

There will also be visits to BBC Sport’s Outside Broadcasts that are up for the afternoon’s coverage.

The BBC Sport website, bbc.co.uk/sport, will provide additional content relating to the show including a vodcast of the Monday night show, a programme editor’s blog and viewer’s questions.

The first run of Inside Sport will finish on 10 June 2007, before returning to the nation’s screens on Monday 3 September 2007 (to Monday 3 December 2007) and then again on Monday 23 February 2008 (to Monday 22 June 2008).

Last week the BBC announced that it was jazzing up its entertainment output, with Jay Hunt, controller of BBC daytime and early peak, commissioning two new entertainment shows for daytime on BBC One and BBC Two (see Two New BBC Entertainment Shows).
