The localised version of ESPN’s SportsCenter will be produced in Malaysia, presented by Malaysians and cover the best international and local sports.
This initiative is a part of the multi-year strategic alliance signed by the Ministry of Youth and Sport and ESPN STAR Sports in October 2005 to raise participation and interest in sport in Malaysia.
Malaysia Minister of Youth and Sport, Datuk Azalina Datuk Othman Said, said, “The Ministry of Youth and Sports is pleased to spearhead this project to bring Malaysian sports closer to the fans at home. SportsCenter is one of the most recognisable and award winning sports news programmes. We are confident that the Malaysian version of SportsCenter will have a positive impact on all sports-loving Malaysians who will enjoy following their heroes on a show with renowned high production standards. KBS’ aim to create sporting icons and promote the sporting culture in Malaysia will be better served with this partnership.”
