For the past two-and-a-half years listeners to fifteen radio stations in Australia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and the UK have been able to listen to Planet Sport every week. Now the programme is available to a wider audience on the worldwide web.
Visitors to www.planetsport.tv can hear and download recent programmes, browse galleries of 2K Plus reporters interviewing sports personalities and discover other information about the show.
Planet Sport is designed for sports fans. Produced on Wednesday for broadcast between Thursday and Saturday, the programme features interviews with top sportsmen and women, comment and analysis on the latest stories from expert correspondents and serialised testimonies of Christian sports people.
The aim of the programme is to bring a Christian perspective to the reporting of sports events and stories. We seek to show sports fans that God is interested in every aspect of our lives and that it is possible to be a passionate follower of sport and be committed to Jesus Christ.
Planet Sport producer Adrian Barnard said: "We are delighted that Planet Sport is now available to listeners on the internet. This increases the number of sports fans we can reach with our blend of news, stories and interviews with a Christian perspective."
Recent programmes have included interviews with Great Britain's 2000 Olympic modern pentathlon gold medallist Stephanie Cook and Kenya's 1968 Olympic 10,000 metres gold medallist and current President of the Kenyan Olympic Committee, Kip Keino.
Correspondents include Henry Olonga in London (cricket, former Zimbabwe Test player), Alex Ribeiro in Brazil (Formula One motor racing, former F1 driver) and Tu Nu'uali'itia in New Zealand (rugby union, played in 1991 and 1995 Rugby World Cups for Samoa).
Planet Sport was launched in May 2005 and by 9th January 2008 138 programmes had been produced.
