Game Time For Brave New Sports Show Skoda Game On

It’s Game Time For Brave New Sports Show Skoda Game On

Saturday the 24th April 2010

TVNZ’s new sport show debuts tomorrow afternoon with a dramatic new set and a bit of an attitude.

Skoda Game On will be presented by Bernadine Oliver-Kerby from 1-5pm every Sunday. The afternoon of sport action culminates in an hour of robust and rowdy debate and analysis when Rod Cheeseman (former TV3 Sunrise sport anchor) joins Bernadine to co-present Skoda Game On – Extra time between 4-5pm.

“The hour of Extra Time includes an honest and humorous look back at the week in sport, viewer feedback via the show’s website and twitter feed, former All White Noah Hickey & guests talk football and look ahead to the FIFA World Cup, weekly contributor Martin Devlin (Radio Live Sport Talk-Host) gives you his take and a special guest/sporting celebrity risks their reputation by taking the Wii Fitness Challenge live in the studio”, says Skoda Game On Producer, Barbara Mitchell.

Extra Time is a brave new sport show that plans to bring some of the fun back into sport, “viewers watch sport to relax and be entertained, we don’t want it to be overly confrontational and dour. We love sport, we also hate it, laugh, cry and yell about it so Skoda Game On – Extra Time is about saluting the sport fan and giving them sport the way they like it – with a laugh”.

Tomorrow on Skoda Game On – Extra Time:
