Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking region, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV to lead the new expert team. He will be supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Biernath commented on his move: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can innovate and refresh golf coverage at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and a “really good mix.”
In addition to the expert team, new commentators have also been recruited. Michael Born, formerly a handball and football commentator at DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating golf events. Moreover, Holger Speckhahn, known for his work as an ice hockey presenter at MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
