Beloved Kiwi journalist Bernadine Oliver-Kerby will be back on TV screens to front Sky Sport’s coverage of the America’s Cup, it was announced today.

Bernadine, who began her career in journalism as a sports reporter, will host the America’s Cup – Race Day Review for Sky.

The move also marks the beloved broadcaster’s return to TV, after her role as One News weekend host alongside Peter Williams was disestablished by TVNZ in 2015.

In February, Bernadine left TVNZ after 25 years with the organisation.

Of her new gig, Bernadine says “It’s an exciting time” in her career.

“I’ve been incredibly lucky to work with some fantastic broadcasters over the years, and this is just a natural progression,” she said.

“I’m a huge America’s Cup fan and a passionate Kiwi, and I can’t wait to see our boys have a crack at bringing the Auld Mug home … where it belongs.”
