Global has launched The Sports Agents, a podcast hosted by Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman.
It aims to build on the success of the popular news podcast, The News Agents, and will release new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday once it premieres this spring.
Chapman and Logan will aim to provide an insider’s perspective on the sporting world, as well as interview big names from upcoming events such as the Olympics, Euros, Six Nations, and Wimbledon.
Ashley Tabor-King CBE, founder & executive president of Global, said: “We always knew we wanted to expand The News Agents brand into the world of sport and I’m delighted to be welcoming two of the finest sports broadcasters in the UK to Global to make this Global Player original podcast with us.”
