Gregor Biernath: “Something New and Good is Emerging for Golf”
Gregor Biernath, one of the most recognizable golf voices in the German-speaking region, is moving from Sky to MagentaTV. Leading the new expert team, he is supported by golf experts Florian Zunker, Bernd Ritthammer, and Max Kramer. Regarding his move, Biernath stated: “The entire team immediately gave me the feeling that something new and good can emerge for golf here. We can innovatively shape and freshen up golf coverage at MagentaTV.” He also described the new team as a “cool editorial team” and noted a “really good mix.”
In the commentators’ department, new faces were sought and found. Michael Born, previously a handball and football commentator for DAZN, will join Herbert Gogel and Stephan Gandel in commentating golf events. Additionally, Holger Speckhahn, known more for his role as an ice hockey host on MagentaSport, will also accompany the upcoming live broadcasts.
