BT Sport's 'Clare Balding Show' to air on BBC Two

BT Sport agrees a rebroadcast deal with BBC Two for its flagship talkshow The Clare Balding Show.

BT Sport has clinched a rebroadcast deal with the BBC that will see its flagship chat show The Clare Balding Show air on BBC Two.

A new 12-part series of the talkshow begins on April 2 and under the agreement, an hour-long version will air on BT on Thursday evenings, with a condensed 30-minute version airing on BBC Two the following night.

"I'm delighted that The Clare Balding Show will now reach a brand new audience via the BBC following this unprecedented deal," said Balding, who previously won plaudits for her coverage of the 2012 Olympics for the BBC.

"Over the last two years we've hosted major sporting names in front of a live audience, we've broken stories, we've laughed and we've asked tough questions. I really hope people will appreciate the relaxed, fun nature of the programme and that it appeals to non-sports fans as well as committed enthusiasts."

The BBC and BT have previously collaborated on a deal that sees FA Cup coverage shared between the two broadcasters.
