Boston Globe Media Partners have announced a new television show — Boston Globe Today — will debut on NESN later this spring.
The daily half-hour show will be hosted by Segun Oduolowu and air at 5:00 PM on NESN and BostonGlobe.com, as well as the mobile apps for NESN and The Boston Globe.
“We are continuously improving the ways that we deliver vital news and information to our community, and are excited to build a television show that will bring the Globe’s award-winning journalism to a broader audience,” Boston Globe Media CEO Linda Henry said.
Boston Globe Today will be produced in a new studio built at the company’s downtown Boston newsroom. On Monday through Thursday, the show will be anchored by Oduolowu and feature discussions with Globe journalists on the news of the day. Fridays will feature a sports roundtable format hosted by Globe columnist Christopher L. Gasper.
Oduolowu comes to Boston Globe Today after hosting People (the TV Show!) for People Magazine. He has previously served as the co-host of The List, and was a regular on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NBC News Now.
“I’m thrilled to join the Boston Globe Today team,” Oduolowu said. “I look forward to diving into the stories affecting this historic city and New England at large.”
