THERE is still a chance
for budding sports commentators in Inishowen to join
the squad for ICRfm's new weekly sports programme
being launched next Sunday.. |
 |
The three-hour sports
show, to be broadcast live each Sunday afternoon
will mostly focus on the sports played in Inishowen.
But it will give special prominence to minority
sports of all types, on the |
progress of
sportspeople from Inishowen who are competing
further afield and will also give a focus to school
and youth sports.
There is still availability for more commentators,
presenters, interviewers and reporters to get on the
team.
“This programme will be local sports reported by
local people for a local audience," said ICRfm
station manager, Jim Doherty.
"We hope it will encourage more of our young people
to participate in sports, especially in light of
growing evidence of increasing obesity and poor
health.
"We would also hope that the increased awareness of
local sports generated by this programme will lead
to increased membership of clubs and attendances at
events."
There is a wide range of sporting activity in
Inishowen, from mainstream to minority sports
including basketball, darts, tug-o-war, draughts,
GAA, badminton, swimming, athletics and watersports.
"The ICR Sports Show will reflect that sporting
diversity in live reports, interviews and feature a
live game each week from different sports," added
Jim.
Funded by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI)
through the Sound and Vision Scheme, the ICR Sports
Show will be fast-paced, cover a wide range of
material and have a large number of contributors
each Sunday reporting by phone from various venues
and games. It will include a small amount of music
to increase entertainment value and diversity.
If you want to be a part of ICRfm's first team of
sports reporters and contributors or want more
information on how your club or sport can
participate, contact Jim Doherty at ICR on 074
