The award is given to an on-air personality that hosts a pregame or postgame show, or gives news during event coverage, but does not commentate on the event itself.
This award is considered to be the most prestigious of all given under the Outstanding Sports Personality category.
Before this subcategory was set up, an award was given to either a studio host or an event commentator from 1968 to 1992.
See that article for a list of winners (Outstanding Host or Commentator).
