National Football League on Channel 4
Channel 4 has announced its line-up of presenters as the channel becomes the new terrestrial home of the National Football League.
Long-time NFL fan and amateur player for the London Warriors, Vernon Kay will host The American Football Show – Channel 4’s regular-season highlights which will be broadcast on Saturday mornings at 9am.
Colin Murray, who hosted American Football coverage for Channel 5 and currently also presents a show for talkSPORT, will anchor Channel 4 Sports live coverage of the two live Wembley games on September 29th and October 27th.
Live coverage of NFL’s Sunday Night Football game, which begins this week with the New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys, will again be hosted by the legendary duo of Nat Coombs and Mike Carlson – who hosted the show on Channel 4 last year.
The wealth of NFL programming on 4 allows us to bring viewers a great presenting team across all the shows. Vernon, Nat and Colin are all avid fans of the NFL and their different styles alongside great knowledge and enthusiasm means our viewers are in for a treat. With Mike Carlson’s superb insight and special guests throughout the season we can’t wait to get going this weekend. – Channel 4’s commissioning editor for sports Jamie Aitchison
