TV3 Launches Super Sport Sunday And 7 Days of Sport
MediaWorks today announces the launch of two new sports offerings: Super Sport Sunday and 7 Days of Sport.
Super Sport Sunday will be part of 3News at 6 and will provide extra sports coverage. It premieres onSunday 20 September.
There will be a mix of regular and guest panellists who will dissect the weekend’s sport news, with a particular focus at launch on the upcoming Rugby World Cup.
3D, which currently screens at 6.30pm on Sundays, will have a two-week hiatus before returning on Mondays at 9.30pm.
The second addition, 7 Days of Sport, takes TV3’s long-running and highly successful 7 Days and makes it sporty. It launches on Tuesday 29 September at 9.30pm.
Hosted by a different prominent Kiwi sportsperson each week, the two teams will be captained by a roster of our sportiest comedians including rugby league and general sporting enthusiast, Dai Henwood; South African rugby and cricket fan Urzila Carlson; and local rugby and cricket man Ben Hurley.
“It’s going to be a great rugby campaign in the coming weeks so getting the 7 Days team involved in a series of sports specials makes perfect sense. In addition to this, Super Sports Sunday in 3News will make sure TV3 viewers get a full round up of that week’s action along with the rest of the weekend’s sport,” says Group Entertainment Content Director Andrew Szusterman.
