NBC is making a change in its Premier League broadcast booth. Arlo White is out. Peter Drury will exit CBS and take over the role when the league returns in August.
The Daily Mailˆwas the first to report the change. Richard Deitsch of The Athletic wrote on Tuesday that he had confirmed the report, but noted that the network declined to comment further.
NBC had made extensive use of Arlo White since he joined the network.
In addition to being the lead voice of Premier League coverage, he also called soccer at the 2012, 2016, and 2021 Summer Olympics.
Peter Drury is best known to American fans for his work with CBS.
The network used him in its coverage of the Champions League.
He has also been around the Premier League in recent seasons, calling the action for Amazon Prime’s coverage in the UK. Investing in the Premier Leagues turned out to be a wise move for NBC.
The network won exclusive US media rights to England’s top soccer league ahead of the 2013-14 season.
In November, the two sides agreed to a $2 billion extension that keeps the EPL on NBC through 2028.
