Sky Sports News have launched a new weekday magazine programme next week, The Premier League Show, which will air on Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 7pm.

Paton, 30, is the face of darts on Sky Sports and has been labelled the queen of Alexandra Palace.
She has also covered tennis‘ US Open and WWE — and is the host for Sky Sports News’ transfer deadline day coverage.
Paton is a regular on Sky Sports and originally joined the TV station back in 2012 as a journalist — before making the jump to presenting in 2019.

The first programme will air next Friday before the opening Premier League game of the season, Liverpool’s visit to Bournemouth, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
Kemp is a big Arsenal fan and has played in the celebrity charity match Soccer Aid, but has not worked in football broadcasting before.
The former Capital One DJ, son of Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp, will be joined on the Sky Sports News show by rotating panel of pundits and reporters to discuss the top talking points in football and preview the weekend’s games.
Sky’s move to hire Kemp is their latest attempt to attract younger viewers to their programmes.
The broadcaster have had a turbulent summer, with seven senior staff made redundant in June including presenters Melissa Reddy and Rob Wooton.
“And to be honest with you and at that time when I finished, there weren’t that many courses around that I would go onto after.
“There weren’t many postgraduate courses, there weren’t many that did NCTJ [National Council for the Training of Journalists] qualifications, I was lucky to find the one that I did.”
