Dont think this has been posted, Its quite old news but for any one that doesnt know...
ESPN has hired former BBC presenter Ray Stubbs to host its coverage of Premier League football when it launches its football channel next month.Stubbs, who joined the BBC in 1983, will no longer host darts coverage and the Saturday afternoon sports programme Final Score on the BBC. The corporation has not announced a replacement.The US sports broadcaster, which spent £159m for the rights to 46 live Premier League matches following the collapse of Setanta, intends to launch its channel next month.Stubbs, who has worked on BBC shows including Match of the Day and its snooker coverage, will make his debut on 15 August for ESPN's first live match Everton play Arsenal."Having been associated with the BBC for over 25 years this was always going to be a difficult decision," said Stubbs."But the opportunity of joining one of the world's leading sports broadcasters on day one of the new ESPN channel in the UK was just too good to turn down. I would like to thank all my BBC colleagues for their support and friendship over the years."Lynne Frank, the managing director for ESPN in Europe, Middle East and Africa, said that the hiring of Stubbs "signals our intent to secure top talent to present our growing sports portfolio in this country".ESPN won the right to show 46 live Premier League matches for the 2009/10 season, and 23 matches a season for the following three years.Yesterday the Scottish Premier League's 12 clubs agreed a £65m deal with Sky and ESPN to screen 60 live Premier League games each season for the next three years across the UK and Ireland.The deal will last until the end of the 2011/12 season with the SPL having an option to extend the deal for a further two seasons.ESPN plans to make its Barclays Premier League coverage widely available across multiple pay-TV platforms. As a first step to this distribution strategy, ESPN will be available as part of Sky Sports.
Glad they didnt use no American to do this. Glad to see a familiar face and overall good pundit/host.
Should have got AC Jimbo as presenter, Glen Hoddle and Alan Smith in the studio, Ray Hudson on commentary.Throw in Desailly for pitch side reporting at half time and you've got a dream team.
LOL @ you man complaining about the match analysis when a week ago some of us were unsure if we'd see any premiership/european football on our tvs next season.Russian league and Bundesliga FTWWanna see Stuttgart in action.
