JORDAN PRIMED FOR TV MOVE

GB NeWs want simon Jordan to front a new weekend sports programme on the fledgling channel. The former Crystal Palace owner (right) has forged a successful career in radio since taking over talksPorT’s daily mid-morning programme alongside Jim White two years ago, leading to offers from elsewhere.

GB News have shied away from specialist sports programming since their launch last year, but want to start a review of the weekend discussion show on sunday evenings and have identified Jordan as their preferred host.
