Hello Sports Fans!

Sportsmedia is investing heavily in its podcast and video content business. It'll be funded by corporate sponsorship and individual clients by request.

Following the highly successful campaigns from:

1) The 4-part Peter Withe Story in video
2) This summer's daily podcasts on the World Cup in Russia,
3) Two Skybet campaigns around the Cheltenham Festival and the Football League playoffs and
​4) The Aston Villa podcasts produced on behalf of Jonny Gould and Howard Hodgson, two of the Supporters' Trust's directors

Contact us for more details. Jonny is on 07768 444422.

On the last day of 2015, the curtain came down on an enterprise which diligently broadcast to millions of listeners across the UK and Europe everyday.
 
Through 24 years, Sportsmedia provided the radio industry with speech content funded by innovative editorialised sponsorship. Not advertorial - more a hybrid of sponsorship and PR which became a permanent fixture in over a hundred radio stations' output and provided year upon year of steady employment for its staff.
 
A combination of commercial factors means Sportsmedia is no longer viable and the daily operation based in the Queens Park newsroom and studios has closed down.
 
I'm immensely proud of Sportsmedia's achievements. With a staff amounting to no more than fifteen at its height, we packed a real punch covering hundreds of world class sports events from The Grand National to The Open, from Wimbledon to Cheltenham, Anfield to The Oval, Wembley to Paris to Plumpton to Gothenburg to Sheffield to Barcelona - even Frimley Green, we were there!
 
From the client list, a who's who of international brands. Coca Cola, McDonald's, VISA, Samsung, Budweiser, Barclays, Hewlett Packard, Global, Sky, Bloomberg, ESPN. The list is long.
 
To my many. many clients, thank you for your friendship, camaraderie and custom. You gave us a lot to do - and it was a pleasure!
 
But it's loyal staff who deserve the biggest accolade. From our studios, firstly in North Kensington then Queens Park, they provided literally millions of bespoke broadcasts impacting billions of times to an audience of tens of millions.
 
Many a talented young reporter cut their teeth at Sportsmedia including prominent national broadcasters today like Vassos Alexander, Andy Burton, Gideon Coe, David Garrido, Russ Hargreaves, Kevin Hatchard and the Moose, Ian Abrahams to name but a few! We remember the late Jon Myers at this time.
 
And Sportsmedia provided so many life opportunities for me too. A fast track for unrivalled knowledge and experience - even status. I'm very grateful for every moment of it.
 
It's not entirely the end. Sportsmedia and Businessmedia's twitter feeds of audio and text content remain and special event presentation & production is open to discuss new projects.
 
And personally, I'm not done with the radio industry either. It's only January but there are already number of exciting opportunities on the table for me to ponder.
 
But this is a note of gratitude to thank you sincerely for helping, joining and enriching me on this journey - and for those coming with me at this fork in the road, I'll see you soon!
 
Kind regards,
 
Jonny Gould. 

There's been another rapid-expansion in Audience Reach as both new stations and new areas join to enlarge Sportsmedia and Businessmedia's bulletin network.

Sportsmedia prides itself in its ability to talk right across the UK - while at the same time drilling down with local news for every community.

In addition to Greater London, Greater Manchester and the East Midlands, Gold Radio of Global plc, will now broadcast our sports and finance bulletins to Birmingham, Bournemouth, Cambridge, Cornwall, Exeter/Torbay/North Devon, Kent, Norwich, Peterborough, Plymouth, Reading/Basingstoke, Southend/Chelmsford, Sussex Coast, Swindon and Ayr.

In addition, Voice FM in Southampton and Cotswold FM are also on board and we go live with Manchester Business Radio, Asian Star Radio and Zetland FM in Cleveland in the coming days.

Commenting on this development, Managing Director, Jonny Gould said, "This is great news for our service and for our sponsors, who'll now receive still bigger exposure - and vindication of the excellence of our long-serving and professional reporting team." 

At Sportsmedia's studios here in London, we're taking calls and emails everyday from new stations looking to add sports bulletins and finance news to their output - or increase the amount of bulletins already broadcast from us.

We provide Community Radio stations with bulletins three-times daily - at breakfast, lunchtime and drivetime - but if a major story breaks, standby for an updated bulletin in the inbox!

But it's not just sports bulletins, we do finance news too.

We provide these bulletins in MP3 via email or FTP. To learn more about our services - or to get in touch about increasing the amount of content available, email info@sportsmedia.co.uk.

If you're an existing station, please let us know the daily times you transmit our bulletins.

Your support is gratefully received. Whether you're a new or old client station, thank you!

Jonny Gould.

Managing Director.

Jonny Gould is to present sports news on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show as he sits in for the holidaying Vassos Alexander.

He makes his debut the week of Monday 14th April covering for seven days.

Jonny said, "I'm delighted to join the UK's biggest and best station to do my favourite job at the best time of day."

"It's also one of the most exciting weeks in the sporting calendar with the Masters winner and Liverpool's result against Manchester City battling for top story in my first bulletin on Monday morning!" 

Jonny's on with Zoe Ball, who is standing in for Chris Evans.

His unique style of sports bulletin was most recently heard on Smooth Radio breakfast, where he presented the sport each morning for two years, alongside Simon Bates.
