Norfolk's Jake Humphrey is presenting a new interactive
sports show on CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ television.
The new programme, called Sportsround, is an addition
to Newsround and it will add a sporting flavour to the Saturday
morning line-up by looking behind the week's sporting headlines.
Jake told Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Norfolk Kids that he's really looking
forward to fronting the show.
"I've always loved sport and have always wanted
to get more involved, so doing this show is perfect," he said.

Sportsround will encourage kids to take up
sport

"It's a really family-orientated show, with
mums and dads watching with the kids and getting involved,"
he added.
Sportsround will be a mix of news and features
and will pave the way for an afternoon of sport. Jake said it was
an exciting time to be involved as it's the beginning of something
new.
"It's the first time children will have a
dedicated sports programme - there are very little sports programmes
around for kids - and I think it's really important for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
to get young people involved in sport," he said.
It's not all sports news - Jake will be interviewing
some of the top names in sports, including Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"We spent an hour with Eriksson in his office
which was great as no-one's ever done that before. Some of the big
names in sports are really keen to get involved," he said.
As well as being an interactive programme, Sportsround
will also work with sporting bodies across the country at grassroots
level, encouraging more children to take up sport.
And it's not just about football either!
"We'll be featuring some unusual sports too
and inviting kids to tell us about their sport - who knows we may
be filming you as part of the programme," said Jake.
As for Jake's favourite sporting moment, there's
no contest:
"My favourite moment is when Norwich City
beat Manchester United 2-0 in the Premiership last season. It was
fantastic!"
Sportsround starts on Saturday 11 September,
at 11.45am on CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One.
