Anne-Marie Batson

Hi there!

Sport is strong in my family – mainly because of my family surname (Brendon Batson OBE) and upbringing. But my passion goes much further than watching or playing.

I’m a multi-platform sports broadcaster with several years’ on-air experience as a presenter/reporter/contributor. Clients include Premier League Productions (IMG), talkSPORT, BBC Sport, LTA, Arsenal, Chelsea FC Women, Times Radio, British Rowing among others.

As well as courtside reporting & commentating for the LTA, I provide WTA tennis match commentary live streamed on Prime Sport and BBC Sport.

Another string to my bow is hosting live events including the Club Wembley: Bobby Moore room at Wembley Stadium for Finals and England matches. Role involves interviewing football legends live on stage in front of a Club Wembley audience. I’d describe my style as engaging, informal and relaxed.

I appear as a podcast guest for the Guardian Football Weekly, BT Sport Football Writers, Offside Rule WSL edition and others.

I’m growing my own female and black-owned independent media empire AMBERGLASS PRESENTS.

Founded by me, the platform focuses on my media entities with sport at the heart of it:  broadcasting, producing, hosting and other new media connecting directly to the audience (exciting!).

I adore audio, live TV and streaming – absolutely love it. I understand what different audiences and platforms demand. I’m developing projects as a producer too.

I believe strongly in anti-racism and sports equality, supporting organisations such as Kick it Out. I believe in using my platform to speak out about this issue.

I’d love to share my journey as a broadcaster, host and producer by speaking at your conferences, events and panels.
