Gregor Biernath: ‘Something new and good is emerging for golf’
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognized golf voices in the German-speaking world, is moving from the TV station Sky to MagentaTV. Biernath leads the new expert team, supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Commenting on his move, Biernath said, ‘The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good for golf is emerging here. We can innovate and refresh golf coverage at MagentaTV.’ He also described the new team as a ‘cool editorial team’ and spoke of a ‘really good mix.’
