Popular Edinburgh based broadcaster David Tanner will front Hibs’ home game production – ‘The Match.’
As part of ‘The Match’ viewers will enjoy a half-hour build-up with a rotating cast of familiar faces, alongside some half-time coverage and a post-match round-up.
Season ticket holders and international subscribers will be able to see every kick of the ball at Easter Road live, with domestic supporters having access to an upgraded audio-only offering.
Tanner currently work as a lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University’s School of Creative Industries and his experience and enthusiasm will be welcomed by Hibs’ fans.
He told the club website: “I’m really excited to get started with Hibs TV, at a time when the club is determined to take things to the next level on and off the park.
“It’s a club with heart, that likes to entertain and play a big part in its community. There are stories to tell here and the start of the season can’t come soon enough.”
He will be joined by former Hibs’ player Tam McManus, a Hibs Academy graduate who added: “Everyone knows what Hibernian means to me. Like everyone else I’ve really missed my football and I’m looking forward to the new season.
“Hibs have a top manager in Jack Ross and have made some really good signings. It has all the makings of a really exciting season.”
Regular commentator Cliff Pike, the’ Voice of Hibernian’ who was one of the founding members of the trailblazing Hibernian Interactive, which was the first incarnation of what is now Hibs TV back in 2002 will continue in his role.
He said: “It doesn’t matter how many games I’ve commented on at Easter Road. It’s always a privilege. A dream come true.
“Hibs TV has come a long way from those early days, and we owe a lot to the late Stuart Crowther and the other people who have helped make it what it is over the years
“Now, more than ever, we have a duty to give supporters a service they can be proud of.”
Through the week fans will get a look behind the scenes at Hibs’ Training Centre with exclusive content from Jack Ross and the players – plus a host of stories from across the Hibernian community.
The club will be sending out step-by-step instructions later in the week for how Season Ticket holders can access the matches and Hibs TV.
