Peter Drury has been appointed as Sky Sports’ new lead commentator, taking over the position left vacant by Martin Tyler.
As Sky decided not to renew his contract, Tyler, 77, stepped down from his position at the end of the season.
Due to this, Sky has decided to replace their chief commentator for their coverage of the Premier League with Drury, who presently works for NBC Sports in the United States.
Peter Drury won’t leave his position with NBC because Sky and the US broadcaster are both controlled by Comcast, and the analyst will only cover one game each week, either on Sunday, Monday, or in the middle of the week.
