Jake Humphrey to Join UEFA Champions League Team on BT Sport Jun 02, 2015 16:37 BST Jake Humphrey to join UEFA Champions League team on BT Sport BT Sport has agreed a new four-year deal with Jake Humphrey that will see the popular football anchor continue to host the channel’s Premier League and FA Cup coverage and extend his role to include presenting exclusively live UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League games. Jake, 36, has been a major success hosting BT Sport’s exclusively live Barclays Premier League football matches for the past two seasons. He will continue to host the Premier League under the new contract. The former BBC Formula 1 presenter joined BT in January 2013 and became one of the founding faces of BT Sport, along with Clare Balding, Lawrence Dallaglio and Rio Ferdinand. Jake was keen to enlarge his role to include presenting the next exciting stage of BT Sport’s development as the new home of exclusively live UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League for three seasons from the start of the 2015/16 competition. For the first time, a single UK broadcaster has the rights to all the 350 live matches from both tournaments. BT Sport will be the only place to watch the very best European teams compete in the leading tournaments. Grant Best, executive director of programming and creative, said: “It is going to be a hugely exciting time for BT Sport as we become the only place to watch exclusively live UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League matches. “Jake has been a big hit with our viewers for his assured and confident style in presenting our Barclays Premier League matches. His role is expanding and I know he’ll bring the same quality and professionalism to our coverage of the best club competition in the world.” Jake Humphrey said: “I have loved being involved at BT Sport from the very beginning. The last two years have been some of the most enjoyable of my career and on the way we’ve had some cracking games, part of the reason we've taken the channels from zero to over five million subscribers in the process. “The next stage is even more exciting as we become the only place to watch live UEFA Champions League. Fulfilling a childhood dream to present the Barclays Premier League has been an incredible adventure, and to be able to present big European matches from the world’s most iconic stadiums will be another challenge I can’t wait to take on.” Jake, who also presented European Championship football from Poland and Ukraine in 2012 during his time with the BBC, will be free to double up on presenting duties for BT Sport, as the channels’ Barclays Premier League matches will remain mainly on Saturdays for the next four seasons, while European matches are played on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

  • The Bluesletter NCBRFC Monday April 18, 2016 PRICE: 78 Cents
    THE REGIONAL NEWSLETTER OF HAMPTON ROADS SINCE 2013 The Bluesletter NCBRFC Monday April 18, 2016 PRICE: 78 cents Blues make it four wins in a row! The Blues have had two strong wins over the last two weekends. Norfolk took care of last placed Nova 42-14 April 9th, while the Blues also took care of old front runner Potomac 72-5 on Saturday. The Blues came away with a strong win against Nova, advancing into 2nd place in the standings. The Blues were obviously favored to win, as Nova had recorded zero wins and ten losses for the season. But you never know when a team may show up, and the 42-15 win for the Blues was a convincing victory a month before playoffs. Matt Jerson made his debut for the Blues scoring two tries by showing his great speed and skilled footwork. Jake Humphrey and Bryce Baxter also filled in very well at Scrum half and Fly half, where Jake managed to get a try from a charged down kick and also six from six conversions at goal. Some forwards were also welcomed back and it gave the big boys constant interchanges and fresh legs throughout the whole 80 minutes. Fred Wintermantel has been resting an injured knee, and has been taking it easy by coming off the bench and only playing for 20-30 minutes. Somehow he always manages to cross over the white line for a try! Eric Hagen continued his strong season and he has emerged as one of the Blues most consistent and best players.

  • By Amy and Corinne
    By Amy and Corinne Jake Humphrey, 28, was born in Peterborough on 7th October 1978. He later moved to Norwich and strongly supports Norwich city. He attended Framingham High school and then went to Hewett sixth form. He is best known for his work on CBBC but his first proper job was on Anglia TV, before he was transferred to Rapture TV. Jake has presented many sports programmes. He auditioned to be a presenter on Blue Peter but didn’t manage to get the job. We interviewed him by text message. “I’ve always wanted to be a policeman” (Jake) When you were younger, what was your ambition? I’ve always wanted to be a policeman because that’s what my granddad did and he was a real hero of mine. Did you get many GCSE’s or A-levels at school? I tried my best at school, got good GCSE’s but not good A-Levels. At the time it was a blow, but the important thing was I reacted by doing them again and working harder. Who is your idol? Why? I've recently been so impressed with how Becks dealt with being dropped by England. A lesson for all of us on how to deal with disappointment. What is your favourite sport and why? Football is my favourite sport because I’ve always enjoyed it. I support Norwich City! How does it feel to be the youngest ever person to host 3 BBC sport programmes? I feel so lucky presenting all that sport stuff. Presenting Match of the Day was awesome Were you disappointed when you didn’t manage to get the Blue Peter position? At the time I was fed up not getting the Blue Peter gig but now I think it was a great thing.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.
