Lee Choong Khay, head of Sports Business at Astro, said the launch fitted in with the TV platform’s aim to be the number one choice for sports content. “FourFourTwo is a weekly football programme that will provide viewers with the latest news, reviews and the best of football highlights. We believe that the programme will be relevant to football fans, considering that it coincides with the much anticipated English Premier League (EPL).”
FourFourTwo, which will appear on the Astro SuperSport channel, is anchored by sports presenter Jason Dasey, together with Mix-FM DJ, Jay Menon. Football fans can anticipate in-depth interviews with local and international football personalities plus in-house experts – including former Malaysia captain Shebby Singh, ex-Premier League midfielder and Kelantan coach Peter Butler, and former Australia international and Sabah player, Scott Ollerenshaw.
At the same time, Measat Publications has announced it will take over the production of FourFourTwo magazine for Malaysia and Singapore, effective from its September 2009 issue. The magazine and the TV programme will collaborate to bring football fans across the region the best football coverage from around the world.
