The Crowd Goes Wild is a 30-minute sports entertainment show broadcast on New Zealand nationwide television channel Prime TV.[1] The show premiered on Monday 26 June 2006.[2]
The Crowd Goes Wild is presented by sports journalist Andrew Mulligan and former test cricketer Mark Richardson and sometimes by James McOnie, Hayley Holt, Ric Salizzo, Chris Key or Huw Beynon if either Andrew or Mark is away. The programme covers the sporting events of the day in a lighthearted format, broadcast live from the studio with pre-recorded segments and clips. It airs five times per week at 7:00pm on weeknights and is replayed on both Prime and Sky Sports .[3]
In late 2010 the show was moved from its live 7pm timeslot to 10:30pm, with the show being recorded at 6:30pm (and played at that time on Sky Sport 1). This move was unpopular, criticised by at least one commentator, and ultimately reversed.[4]
Field reporters include James McOnie, Hayley Holt and former All Black Josh Kronfeld while other personalities such as former All Black Frank Bunce have occasionally hosted the show.[5][6]
Former Sports Cafe host and veteran journalist Ric Salizzo is the show's executive producer, who also sometimes hosts with one of either Mark or Andrew on a Friday night.
