Logan, who has hosted programmes on many of the world's biggest live events from the World Cup to the Olympics, is due to collect her award for services to sports broadcasting and the promotion of women in sport.
Lizzie Jones is being honoured for services to rugby league and charity after helping raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for the Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund named in honour of her late husband.
Jones set out to raise funds for cardiac defibrillators after Danny, a Wales international, died from an undiagnosed heart defect while playing for Keighley in May 2015.
The fund has helped pay for cardiac screening for junior and adult players and in recent months has been helping other sports, including cricket, generate the funds they need to install defibrillators at local clubs.
