Dear Haley Holt,

Hi, young lady.  You don't know me, we've never met so let me introduce myself.  My name is John Dybvig.  I'm an American.  I've lived in New Zealand for twenty five plus years and I'm a sports nut with a reputation for being honest.  I don't pull punches and sometimes that means the picture ain't pretty so I'm gonna have to get all naked on you sister and call it as I see it:  You simply don't have it...whatever 'it' is in the sports commenting business you don't possess it!  In fact you're awful.  Please let me explain...here's my beef:

Join Mark and Andrew from the hub of the Westpac Halberg Awards as they bring tonight's show live from the Sky City Convention Centre. Who will be their picks for the awards this evening - undoubtedly there will be some heated debate. Andrew is coincidentally the co-host for tonight's award ceremony - we're sure Mark will have something to say about that!

Sport

It's the final episode for 2009 before the boys swan off on their Christmas break. Make sure you tune in to Andrew, Mark and the two James for the latest sports news, both local and international, and general tomfoolery. Fear not though, the show will be returning mid-January 2010.

Weeknights at 7.00pm

Get all the latest sporting news (and a healthy dose of sarcasm) from Andrew Mulligan and Mark Richardson.

MEETING MULLIGAN

• Andrew played in the Second Division Wellington Secondary Schools All Star team when another player couldn't make it. He scored 8 points and still has the t-shirt. Ah, bless.

• Has a scar on his top lip from walking through a window when he was 17 (which you can now see it in HD).

• Andrew’s great, great, great, great, great grandfather was John Logie Baird – inventor of the television!

Weeknights at 7.00pm

Get comfy on the sofa, kick off your work shoes, crack open a beer and join your favourite (and terribly serious) sports reporters, Andrew Mulligan and Mark Richardson, for a look at the day’s sporting headlines.

Weeknights at 7.00pm

Hosted by a couple of Kiwi lads, Andrew Mulligan (soon to be seen hosting New Zealand’s Got Talent) and Mark Richardson (not to be seen hosting anything else, anytime soon), along with occasional guests, The Crowd Goes Wild offers a relaxed look at the day’s sporting news.

Keep an eye out for James McOnie’s nightly reports from the Beijing Olympics. Poor China doesn’t know what’s about to hit it.

THE CROWD GOES WILD

SPORTS MAGAZINE SHOW

Tune in each weeknight for a laid-back look at the best of the day’s sporting news with Andrew Mulligan and Mark Richardson.

Monday 3rd October: Missed sport over the weekend? No problem, each Monday the CGW team bring you “One Game At A Time” with highlights and lowlights from the weekend sports set against a background of soft rock from the 1990s, and a cheesy voiceover.

Wednesday 3rd October: Tonight is “The Crowd Goes Wild” night, an imaginatively named segment where the fans are given the chance to hog the camera. The guys pick out the best action, or inaction, from a person in the stands giving the fans their chance to shine... for 90 seconds.

THE CROWD GOES WILD, Monday 1st October, Wednesday 3rd October at 7.00pm
