Network Ten Host Matt White Named Head of Sport

Matt White, who presents Network Ten’s Supercars, Rugby and Australian Formula One Grand Prix coverage as well as the weekly magazine program RPM, has been tapped as head of sport.

White will report to Beverley McGarvey, chief content officer, and will continue in his on-air role at the channel. He has worked at Network Ten for more than a decade. Also during his career, he held several senior news and sport presenting positions at Seven Network.

McGarvey stated: “Matt is one of the most experienced and versatile television presenters in Australia, with a career that spans sport, special events, news and current affairs.

“I’m delighted that he has agreed to take on the new role of head of sport, while continuing to appear on air for us. Network Ten remains the free-to-air television home of Supercars, MotoGP, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, the Wallabies and the A-League.”

White added: “Now is the perfect time for Ten Sport to build on our existing platform of live sports broadcasts and sports programming, and I can’t wait to lead the charge. We have great people who are passionate, innovative and committed to delivering what our viewers want—more of the sports they love on free-to-air television. Ten Sport is open for business, so watch this space.”

In addition, Adam Cush was elevated to director of sport production. He will continue to oversee the sport department’s production, commercial and business affairs functions, collaborating with White.
