English football presenter Rebecca Lowe has signed a six-year contract to host NBC Sport’s coverage of the Premier League in the United States through 2022.
NBC have shown the same faith in Lowe, 35, who has made a name for herself in America since working for Setanta on their short-lived PL partnership.
Her deal is understood to be worth around $720,000 per year.
As claimed in a Wall Street Journal report last year, the US audience size for ‘EPL’ games on US television via NBC Sports has grown by 150 percent on average, in comparison to three years ago when the league’s matches games were under FOX Sports and ESPN’s ownership.
