A new downloadable 15-minute program featuring news, features and interviews from the world of sport with a Christian perspective is available from www.planetsport.tv as a podcast from iTunes.
Sports media group 2K Plus International Sports Media has launched the new interactive website and the weekly podcast program for sports fans desiring sports news from a Christian perspective.
The website www.planetsport.tv is designed to engage sports fans with the leading issues in sport and also explore the stories behind the headlines.
"The aim of the website and Planet Sport program is to introduce sports fans to Jesus," said 2K Plus Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Barnard.
"Through interviews with top Christian sportsmen and women and our network of correspondents around the world, we want to show that following Jesus in the 21st century is relevant and fulfilling," Barnard said, adding: "We hope Planet Sport will be a credible resource to which Christians can direct their non-Christian sporting friends."
A news release says Scotland and British and Irish Lions rugby forward, Euan Murray, Kenya's double Olympic marathon silver medallist Catherine Ndereba and Britain's double Olympic rowing silver medallist, Debbie Flood are all lined up to feature on the show.
Regular correspondents include Brazilian former F1 driver Alex Ribeiro for Formula One, former Samoa international Tu Nu'uali'itia for rugby union and Verité Sport director, Stuart Weir for soccer.
The website also features a review of the film 'Hansie -- The True Story,' about the life of disgraced former South African cricket captain, Hansie Cronje, and interviews with former Zimbabwe cricketer Henry Olonga and Springbok rugby international Cobus Visagie recorded at the London première earlier this year.
Planet Sport is also heard on radio stations around the world in countries such as Australia, Grenada, Ireland, Kenya and Malawi. In the UK it can be heard on Branch FM, Dewsbury and Cross Rhythms.
2K Plus International Sports Media is a registered charity. It has reported from major international sporting events with a Christian perspective since 1991, first as a ministry of HCJB-UK, then with Focus Radio before becoming a charitable company in its own right in 2001.
In 2008 a 2K Plus team reported from the Beijing Olympics in seven languages for more than 1,500 radio stations worldwide.
