Virgin Media have appointed Brian Gleeson as the new Head of Sport at the station.

He has been a Senior Producer at the station since 2018 when he returned after a three-year stint in Qatar at beIN Media Group.

Prior to that, he built his credentials through spells with Setanta Sports, at RTÉ and at Sky, where he produced the GAA content for the first two years of its contract.

“I am incredibly honoured to lead the superb Virgin Media Sports team as the new Head of Sport,” he said.

“We have never produced as much live sport as we do currently and are very well placed as we explore new content and digital opportunities.”

“Sport brings audiences together like nothing else, and with a season of top-quality action to look forward to on Virgin Media Television, it’s a very exciting time.”

 

Sport for Business will host a Smart Minds event on Sport and Data on Thursday, August 22nd. This is one of many events currently in planning for the remainder of 2024.
