The Vent with Tony Veitch returns to nzherald.co.nz on Monday and the new-look format will begin a rollout of new digital coverage across NZME.
"This year it's going to be rip, sh** and bust," Veitch said. "It will be shorter in length and one-on-one, quick-fire debating of the key talking points from the latest sports stories".
"There will be plenty of opportunity for punters to interact and have their say. It will be a pub debate online.
Last month NZME announced that Veitch will extend his audience reach and influence across the NZME group by providing sports content across publishing, digital, video and social media platforms.
"It's stage one of some great new content coming up on the digital space of NZME," Veitch said.
