FOOTY SA
SUNDAY, MARCH 30 KICK-OFF AT 1.00PM ON CHANNEL NINE
South Australian football finally has its own weekly program with Footy SA set to premiere this Sunday at 1.00pm on
Channel Nine.
Produced by Crocmedia for the Nine Network, Footy SA will focus on Port Adelaide, Adelaide, the SANFL, the Channel 9
Adelaide Football League (formerly SAAFL), and SA regional footy. The program debuts the day after the new Adelaide
Oval is unveiled in Showdown XXXVI.
The Sunday Footy Show’s Craig Hutchison will host Footy SA and be joined each week by a raft of South Australian
stalwarts, including Warren Tredrea, Simon Goodwin, Stephen Rowe and Sean Wellman, as well as SANFL legend
Neil Balme and a host of other South Australian stars.
The Advertiser’s Michelangelo Rucci will also provide news and views each week with his Rucci’s Rant segment.
Crocmedia executive director Chris Giannopoulos said South Australia deserved its own footy program.
“This will be the biggest year ever in South Australian football, with a stadium unmatched in comfort terms which will
transform the city,” Giannopoulos said.
“We want to play our role in bringing South Australian footy to the people. South Australia deserves its own show and its
own parochial sense of focus.
“Footy SA will be fun, vibrant, challenging and no doubt confrontational at times, just the way we like it. This program will
be all things South Australian footy, and it will unashamedly champion the great football that is played in this state.”
Footy SA is presented by Farmers Union Iced Coffee.
FOOTY SA – STARTS SUNDAY, MARCH 30, AT 1.00PM ON CHANNEL NINE
