BIOGRAPHY

Print print icon

Steve Rider moved to the commercial network after twenty years with the BBC, to front the Formula One season and the Rugby World Cup. He is the only person to have presented all the major sports magazine shows - including Grandstand, Sportsnight and World of Sport.

With a background in local newspapers and PR, Steve began his broadcast career as a sports editor with Anglia. Then, after a stint with Thames, he moved to the BBC to replace Des Lynam on Grandstand. He went on to become the main golf presenter, particularly associated with the US Masters.

In his after dinner speech Steve reveals the perils of live broadcasting, dodgy Autocue and trying to present Olympics coverage across different time zones. He might also reflect on his time as host of Sports Personality of the Year.

Steve Rider has twice won the Royal Television Society's Sports Presenter of the Year award, and collected two BAFTAs.
