In 2007, Tanner produced and presented UKTV Slam, 15 one-hour magazine programmes for Britain's second biggest non-terrestrial broadcaster. The series culminated in a four hour live broadcast of the Euroleague finals, with Tanner reporting from Athens. In 2008, Tanner produced, directed and presented two basketball documentaries for Channel 4. The first, Midnight Madness, was a 90 minute feature about Britain's summer basketball event. It involved shooting across the UK and in Miami, Florida. In November 2008, Tanner produced and presented "Team GB: Road To Eurobasket" - a 60 minute documentary following the Great Britain basketball team as they tried to qualify for the Eurobasket tournament for the first time.
Away from his basketball activities, Tanner has worked as a television news producer and reporter since 1999. He began his career at London Tonight and worked with SKY News before moving to ITN as a senior producer on the ITV News Channel.[1]
In May 2000, Tanner set up the website Streetball.co.uk which became Basketball247.co.uk in 2008 - broadening its remit from just covering streetball to more mainstream basketball. He has traveled the world covering events - from the Euroleague to the NBA to Streetball.
