Network Ten has announced the launch of The Thursday Night Sport Show, a new panel program that will premiere Thursday, October 2, at 9.30pm AEST, live on ONE. Just in time to fill the void of Nine’s The Footy Show over the summer break.
Hosted by Ten Sport’s Mel McLaughlin with regular panellists Mark Howard and funny man Sam Mac, The Thursday Night Sport Show is your “one-stop-shop for all things sport” as we head in to the busiest time of the year on the local and international sporting calendars.
It will be interesting to see how this goes after Mel McLaughlin was heavily criticised for her ‘wooden’ hosting style during the Commonwealth Games. The panel will feature Ten regulars including Mark Webber, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Damien Fleming, Mark Waugh and more.
The show is heavily funded by betting agency Ladbrokes, with horse racing expert, media personality and sports lover Andy Maher providing odds for key sporting events and races throughout the show.
The panel will also be joined by horse racing guru Anthony Mithen each week to discuss the weekend’s races and tips for punters.
Tune in for news and views on the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, NRL Grand Final, the Hyundai A-League, Formula One, V8 Supercars, the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, Major League Baseball, NFL, NBA, the English Premier League, Rugby Union, Cricket and more.
