Logan’s run to the BBC

The most disturbing news of the week - for me anyway - was undoubtedly the appointment and defection of sports presenter Gabby Logan from ITV to the BBC.
I’ve never been a fan of her - certainly not during the 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul from where a heavily-pregnant Logan anchored ITV’s coverage dressed as a tramp, or as one newspaper put it, looked as though she had stumbled into the studio after a night out clubbing.
Her fluffy, lightweight presentational style was brutally exposed that night, as was evident during coverage of the Boat Race and the Super Bowl on the commercial network.
It’s therefore baffling why the BBC should want to waste their money on someone, when they already possess enough in-house talents.
Apparently, Logan’s appointment coincides with a soon-to-be-launched sports news shows, but also with an eye to co-hosting the 2012 Olympic Games.
Looks like I have to wait a long time to see the back of her. But, spare a thought though for the current front-line sports presenters on the BBC - they’d better watch out, Logan’s after them!
