Sportsround will also interview some of the biggest names in sport and kicks off with the man of the moment, scorer of Northern Ireland's winner over England, David Healy - who will feature in the first programme on Saturday 10 September. CBBC Controller Alison Sharman said: "We know children love sport, but we haven't till now had a dedicated sports programme for them. Sportsround will break new ground, bringing some of the biggest sporting talent to young audiences, as well as getting kids more involved in taking part in sporting activity. I am keen that sport becomes a central part of CBBC's output as it plays such a vital part in developing healthy lifestyles for our youngsters."

Sportsround will be presented by CBBC anchor Jake Humphrey, who is an extreme sports fan and a keen snowboarder. Humphrey says, "I am so excited to have the opportunity to present Sportsround. I'm sports mad and it really is a dream come true to land this job. I also think it's really important for children to get involved with sport as early as possible so they can learn about things like team work and discipline. And just as importantly, if children aren't playing sport now, where will we find the Freddie Flintoffs and Wayne Rooneys of the future?"
