Programmes will consist of interviews with prominent individuals who use the Academy's facilities, and Bill Brownell, the PSB President, spoke of his delight at securing the agreement.

"For years, I have been a big fan of the United States Sports Academy and have wanted to work with this great institution," he said.

"This is an excellent opportunity from our standpoint to create a lot of must-see content and publicize what the Academy is doing."

PSB provides online sports news and is an internet broadcasting company, streaming live college, high school and other youth events.

The two organisations will be working to pool sports media content both for the internet and other media outlets.
