Earlier this week the Gauteng Sports Awards announced the nominees for their 2015 edition. The nominees for the Sports Programme of the Year Award are:
Sport@10
The weekly laid back sports programme is hosted by Thomas Mlambo and airs on SABC 1, which means it is most likely to win this category due to the sheer number of viewers it has relative to the other nominees. The show itself is not bad, featuring news, long form interviews and discussions.
GameOn!
The daily 30 minute sports programme is hosted by Mahreen Chenia and airs on ANN7. Reviews for the show are largely positive and regularly features interviews with big name sportsmen and women. In addition to general sports news, it has a strong focus on the overall state of South African sport than the other nominees. To watch the first episode of GameOn! click here. Trust me, its worth it
The Sports Network with Andrew Hope
University of Johannesburg. To everyone that gets paid a large sum of money to put together a sports programme, you got beat by a college kid. Let that sink in.
Thursday Night Live with Marawa
Robert Marawa hosts this weekly show on a Thursday Night (as the name says) on Supersport 4. Has a large focus on soccer and features a local singer each week as well. Airing on a Thursday means it has a stronger focus on building up to the weekend that lies ahead than reviewing past matches.
Notable exclusions include:
- Monday Night Football (Supersport 3)
- Soccerzone (SABC1)
- Backpages (Supersport 4)
- Sports Live (SABC News)
- eShibobo (eTV, eNCA)
