The Crowd Goes Wild is presented by sports journalist Andrew Mulligan and James McOnie, Hayley Holt, Ric Salizzo, Wairangi Koopu, Chris Key or Huw Beynon if either of the main hosts are away. The programme covers the sporting events of the day in a lighthearted format, broadcast live from the studio with pre-recorded segments and clips. It airs five times per week at 7:00pm on weeknights and is replayed on both Prime and Sky Sports .[3]

In late 2010 the show was moved from its live 7pm timeslot to 10:30pm, with the show being recorded at 6:30pm (and played at that time on Sky Sport 1). This move was unpopular, criticised by at least one commentator, and ultimately reversed.[4]

Field reporters include James McOnie, Hayley Holt, Chris Key, Makere Gibbons, former All Black Josh Kronfeld, former Silver Fern Cat Tuivaiti, Rugby League star Wairangi Koopu, Winter Olympic athlete Anna Willcox-Silfverberg, and former Silver Fern Storm Purvis .[5][6]

Former SportsCafe host and veteran journalist Ric Salizzo is the show's executive producer, who also on rare occasions will host as well.
