Gerard
Whateley will soon be announced as the new host of the ABC’s Sunday
morning sports panel show Offsiders for 2014.
ABC veteran Barrie Cassidy is expected to
stand down as host of the sports review show now that the ABC has confirmed the
program will immediately follow its sister program Insiders on Sunday mornings
in 2014.
Both Insiders and Offsiders are expected to relaunch in 2014 with
a new look, including new set designs, Barrie Cassidy will remain as the host of
Insiders.
Gerard has had plenty of experience with the program in the past as a regular panellist and fill in host since the show launched in 2006.
2014 will be a busy year for Gerard
Whateley as he continues to host AFL360 four nights a week on the Fox Footy Channel as well as commentating various sports including AFL for ABC Radio.
The change comes after ABC current
affairs boss Bruce Belsham decided not to renew Inside
Business last month.
