Today 主播大秀 Scotland and 主播大秀 Sport finally got to reveal what we have been keeping tight-lipped about for what seems like forever 鈥� our coverage of the Commonwealth Games. There are going to be some fantastic programmes, live events and cultural activity throughout the 主播大秀 over the next year as we head to Glasgow 2014 and I really hope there is something for everyone in our line-up.
Not only will there be a host of popular presenters involved in our coverage - including Hazel Irvine, Gary Lineker, Clare Balding, Gabby Logan, Ken Bruce, Susanna Reid, Bill Turnbull, Mishal Husain, Fred MacAulay and Dougie Vipond 鈥� but there will also be our popular programmes such as The One Show, 主播大秀 Breakfast, The Ken Bruce Show, A Question of Sport and Who Do You Think You Are? - all coming from Pacific Quay in Glasgow during Games time.
With live sport action during the event across all major TV and radio networks, along with online, sport fans will not be disappointed. As you鈥檇 expect, 主播大秀 Sport will provide the kind of coverage they did so brilliantly during the Olympics.
There will be daily coverage on 主播大秀 One, and Glasgow 2014 will be delivered seamlessly across mobile, tablet, desktop and connected TVs meaning audiences can get closer to the action, wherever they are. As well as this, the 主播大秀 Breakfast team are moving from their Salford base to Pacific Quay for the duration of the games so their viewers will really feel part of the action.
If you didn鈥檛 know, the Games are one of the few events where the UK nations compete against each other on a global stage.听 Indeed it鈥檚 not only the nations but also the smaller territories like the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.听 We intend to make the most of this 'friendly' competition.听
In addition to bringing all the sporting action from the Games, the 主播大秀 also aims to boost the accompanying cultural festivities by using some of its leading presenters for both on and off-air programmes - including 16 days of major events from a specially constructed 主播大秀@TheQuay. This is going to be an exciting venue that will have a great mix of live programmes, music events and family-friendly fun throughout the day.
All the 主播大秀 Radio networks have committed to delivering fantastic content before and during the Games, including 5 Live which will, not only be covering the games throughout the whole day, there will also be a special afternoon programme, which is a unique collaboration with Radio Scotland, between 2 and 4 in the afternoon.
There are also some brilliant documentaries planned for 2014, including Clydebuilt: The Ships That Made the Commonwealth, along with major music concerts.听 Other highlights include Glasgow Girls on 主播大秀 Three a musical drama telling the true story of a group of girls who banded together in 2005 to save their friend from deportation, and the final of the 主播大秀 Young Musician in Edinburgh鈥檚 Usher Hall on 18 May 2014, where we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the venue in the final broadcast on 主播大秀 Four and 主播大秀 Radio 3.
You don鈥檛 have to wait until 2014 though, with coverage already beginning across the 主播大秀 with the epic .听 This 主播大秀 Scotland team are responsible for providing coverage across all the 主播大秀鈥檚 services including global and 24 hour news, Radio 2, and The One Show. Hopefully you鈥檝e all already caught some of these stories.
So while we continue to work hard to progress even more ideas and plans, I鈥檓 sure聽 you鈥檒l agree with me that the Commonwealth Games will not only be great for Scotland but will be an event that聽 everyone across the UK can enjoy, whether visiting Glasgow or watching in your own home.听
