Fox Sports Live talent announced

Written by Joe Lucia on 25 July 2013.

The on-air talent for Fox Sports Live has been announced, and many of the names are ones we're familiar with: Jay Onrait, Dan O'Toole, Charissa Thompson, Andy Roddick, Gary Payton, Donovan McNabb, and Ephraim Salaam.

The show, which will serve as Fox Sports 1's flagship program, will be anchored by Onrait and O'Toole, formerly of TSN. We've known that they'd be the main anchors for the program for awhile, so all today did was really confirm their role with the network. The anchors will receive breaking news and updates from Don Bell and Ryan Field, while Julie Stewart-Binks and Molly McGrath will also serve as correspondents.

The next name in the pecking order is former SportsNation host Thompson, who will be the primary host of Fox Sports Live's opinion and analysis segments. I'm sure we're all cringing at the prospect of "opinion" segments, but as long as there aren't contrived debate segments, we should be OK (hopefully). Roddick's hiring was announced in May, and he's one of four former athletes on the show's panel. Payton's TV experience is limited, but he has hosted a weekly Bay Area radio show and a weekly TSN show in Canada.

McNabb joins Fox Sports Live after a brief stint with NFL Network, and he had some moments on television and on Twitter that made us wince. It'll be interesting to see what happens with his show on NBC Sports Radio, which isn't even four months old yet. Finally, there's Salaam, whose only media experience I can really find is a recurring role on Robert Mays' Grantland podcast.

On one hand, it's nice to see Fox going with a whole batch of new faces on their opinion panel to at least give us a bit of a fresh perspective as opposed to the usual overplayed opinions from the same faces you've seen time and time again. You can't build up new stars without giving new faces a chance. On the other hand, there's a pretty big opportunity for things to fall apart if the new names negatively impair the solid backbone of the show provided by Onrait, O'Toole, and Thompson. But remember, even the best athletes turned analysts were once in the same position. For every Jerry Rice that fades away quickly, there's a Jay Bilas who becomes a superstar in the broadcasting world

You Are Here: Home ? Politics ? Voters are accountable to society ? Abu Sakara

Dr Abu Sakara

Dr Foster Abu Sakara, the 2012 presidential candidate of the Convention People?s Party (CPP), has advised the electorate to be careful with the choices they make because they are accountable to the society.

Speaking at the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences forum on the topic ?Political Accountability and Good Governance,? Dr Sakara said politicians entered into offices through the electorate and it was important they (electorate) demanded accountability from them as well.

?The electorate are accountable to the society and should be blamed if they make the wrong choice for the country,? he said.

He said Ghana was endowed with rich natural mineral resources such gold, diamond, oil, cocoa, manganese and bauxite, a prospect that surpassed other countries on the African continent.

Dr Sakara said it was therefore imperative for any leader voted into office to use the nation?s resources for development since there was no basis to fail.

?Any politician, who fails to use the rich natural resources available for the development of the country, should be held accountable,? he added.

He also called for the passage of the Right to Information Bill to enable the public to have access to any information pertaining to the governance of the country.

Mr Vitus Azeem, Executive Director, Ghana Integrity Initiative, said lack of political accountability and weak governance fueled corruption, adding that nepotism, lobbying and extortion could also cause serious harm to the national economy.

He said professional groups such as accountants, lawyers, journalists and other civil society organisations must see themselves as playing a watchdog role and providing a sustained and credible leadership in demand for political accountability and good governance.
