ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
unveils new look for Grandstand
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
Sport kicks off 2004 with a new and re-invigorated Grandstand.
Grandstand
- which celebrated its 45th birthday last year - continues to build
on its strong portfolio with the introduction of some new, inspiring
elements to its Saturday and Sunday programmes.
Sunday
11 January launches Sport+, a brand new, studio-based feature
which will kick off ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO's Sunday Grandstand.
Sport+
will examine the key sporting issues of the moment and pick up on
some of the big stories to have emerged from the previous day's
play, with comment from some of those most involved.
Craig
Doyle will be the regular studio presenter of Sunday Grandstand,
opening the show with Sport+ and providing links to the rest of
the show.
Craig
is already a familiar face to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sport.
Following
his roles as the presenter of the British Superbikes and a reporter
on the Six Nations rugby - as well as his varied work across the
whole of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and his background in journalism - Sunday Grandstand
sees Craig in his first major presentation role for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sport.
Sunday
Grandstand is also launching The Big Interview, with John
Inverdale as the main presenter.
This
new, monthly series will run at the end of Sunday Grandstand and
will be profiling some of the biggest names in sport through in-depth
interviews.
From
10 January ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE's Saturday Grandstand will be launching a news
service which aims to bring viewers all the news as soon it
happens.
News
bulletins will run during the first two hours of the show and will
focus on team news and the latest goals from that day's Premiership
games.
Hazel
Irvine will be presenting the news bulletins live from the studio.
Each
bulletin will last about 90 seconds, with a longer bulletin of around
three to four minutes at around 2.30pm.
From
3.00pm, Saturday Grandstand will continue its new and flourishing
interactive football scores service.
Viewers
can watch Grandstand and get simultaneous access to all of the day's
scores and goals by pressing the red button on their controls.
All
the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s digital services are now available on ,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable. Freeview
offers the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s eight television channels, interactive services
from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½i, as well as 11 national ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio networks.
