Bt Sport Unveils Saturday Line-up For 2016/17
BT Sport has unveiled its new Saturday TV line-up for the new Premier League season, including a new football results show, BT Sport Score.
BT Sport Score kicks off on Saturday afternoons from Saturday 13th August at 2.30pm, presented by Mark Pougatch. He’ll be joined by a host of new BT Sport pundits including former England international Jermaine Jenas and former Leeds United and Liverpool winger Harry Kewell, alongside BT Sport analysts Robbie Savage, Harry Redknapp, David James and ex-referee Howard Webb.
The show will keep viewers up to date with the action from all the matches taking place across the UK and the big games in Europe, including the FA Women’s Super League (WSL).
Guests on the show will include current managers, recently retired players, former referees as well as leading figures from the WSL game. The show will also include Fantasy Football updates. Following the show, BT Sport will broadcast a live Premier League game presented by Jake Humphrey.
Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: “Football fans can look forward to a topical feast of football on Saturday on BT Sport with exciting new shows alongside fantastic exclusively live action. This season we will show more Premier League games than ever before at the new kick off time of 5.30pm.
“BT Sport Score will keep people up-to-date with all the news whilst offering diverse opinions in a relaxed and informal way. Premier League Tonight will also talk about the best action and dissect any controversial moments from the day from 8.00pm on a Saturday evening.”
BT Sport also launched its #GoalsRecreated digital marketing campaign for the coming season, which will sees footballers try to re-create their favourite goals from across the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and FA Cup competitions.
The first instalment sees Harry Kane attempt to recreate Paul Scholes’ famous volley (above), whilst Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez tests his luck at replicating the likes of Charlie Adam’s halfway-line goal and Zidane’s UEFA Champions League final volley.
