 Sport dominates the media - it dominates lives. It develops motivation, team spirit, fills our recreation times and influences what we wear. If we don't play it for real, we watch it, listen to it or play it virtually on our computers. For most it's a pastime, for others it's a living. For some it's an obsession ... even a religion. Sport is one of the main reasons why people watch TV. In the UK radio stations BBC 5Live and talkSPORT serve the great demand for sport. In April 2009 talkSPORT’s audience was 2.4 million per week, 5% of the British population (source: www.mediauk.com). The FIFA World Cup™ and the Olympic Games are now not only the biggest sporting events in history, but also the biggest media events ever staged.
 2K Plus International Sports Media exists for the sports fan. We aim to show that following Jesus Christ is relevant for the sports fan in the 21st century and that living according to Jesus’ teaching offers the best lifestyle around.
 We report from major sporting events with news and comment reflecting a belief in Jesus Christ. We talk to sports people who follow Christ about the relevance of their faith among the joys, challenges, pressures and sacrifices of their sport. We ask how they cope with disappointment and the pressures of being role models for young people. We produce a weekly radio programme, Planet Sport, heard on radio stations around the world. You can also hear the show on the website, www.planetsport.tv, and download the show as a weekly podcast from iTunes.
We work in partnership with like-minded media groups, mission agencies and a committed team of volunteer media professionals. We would not be able to function without these cooperative partnerships and the generosity of our volunteers, many of whom take upaid leave and pay their own costs to serve with us at major sporting events. The multi-national team reflects our cultural diversity and shared faith in Christ.  Adrian Barnard: Chief Executive Officer and Planet Sport producer.
