BT Sport is to reunite veteran sports broadcasters Danny Baker and Danny Kelly to front a new Friday night football show on its TV service.

The duo have worked together on football shows on numerous occasions over the past 20 years, most famously on BBC Radio 5 Live, and will be reunited for Baker and Kelly's Sporting Phone Out.

The live show will air on Friday evenings for 40 weeks with the first set to air on 16 August, the day before the next Barclays Premier League season kicks off.

BT Sport describes the hour-long show as "original, unpredictable, football-themed entertainment with audience participation" using phone, text, email and social media.

"We intend to make all other twisted opinion shows seem as dull as egg eating contests," said Baker, who will continue to host his BBC Radio 5 Live show on Saturday mornings. "Baker and Kelly: the best at all that stuff. Sometimes right. Sometimes wrong. Always certain."

Kelly, who will continue to host the Kick Off radio show on UTV Media-owned TalkSport, said: "Seriously, we're delighted to have another crack at whatever it is that we do."

The series will be shot live at BT Sport's new studios in Queen Elizabeth park in Stratford, part of the former London 2012 Olympics complex.

It is a co-production between BT Sport and Campbell Davison Media, the company behind Danny Baker's Saturday morning show on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Danny Baker and Danny Kelly are two of the country's best-known and admired football hosts," said the head of BT Sport, Simon Green. "Their off-the-wall observations and passionate, humorous and engaging style of debate will be a huge hit with our viewers as we try to build some fantastic and fun programmes around the incredible live rights we have secured."
