In what will be the first of its kind for football on Australian TV, SBS will launch a new live weekly entertainment program, Thursday FC, in October as part of our coverage of the A-League.
Filmed in front of a live studio audience, Thursday FC will showcase the A-League like never before, combining entertainment, football, interviews and live performances.
Thursday FC will be hosted by comedian and presenter Matt Okine, who has just returned from performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and was named Best Newcomer at the 2012 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Matt will be joined by SBS Football Presenters Lucy Zelic and David Zdrilic with music provided by the show’s house band, newcomer, Cartoon.
Each week Thursday FC will include a look at each of the upcoming A-League games for the round as well as special guests from music, film and sport; celebrity tipping; and live music acts.
“Thursday FC is unlike anything SBS has ever done before and a first for football in Australia,” SBS Head of Sport Ken Shipp said.
“Targeted towards A-League fans as well as a broader audience demographic, the program will capture the human and entertaining side of the game and build anticipation for the live Hyundai A-League matches on SBS 2 on Friday nights.”
Thursday FC will premiere live on Thursday 10 October at 8:30pm on SBS 2 ahead of the first A-League game of the season between Sydney FC and Newcastle Jets on Friday 11 October at 7:00pm on SBS 2.
