Media Coverage

[Dutchy]

Will they take turns in calling the games or are those the people on the Thursday night show?

As they cover a number of games per weekend it will be split up between them.

[HOORAY PUNT]

So does this mean no Neil Cross or Michael Maney on ABC TV or will still do the TV on Saturdays and radio the other times ?

[Big Phil]

Anthony Tucker and Michael Maney are good inclusions.

Agreed, as is Neil Cross.

[HOORAY PUNT]

Agree Wedgie, what the hell is going on!? No Advertiser lift out or team photo's no TV adds, nothing.....WTF!!!

Team photos start in the paper tomorrow and a footy liftout on Thursday.

Geezus, the one time I want North on the Radio, can't LifeFM do it, they're doing nothing else that day.

Can the radio actually cover a TV game? Or is there some kind of exclusivity?

I recommend you SKYPE it. I am going to try this method this year for Sturt games.
If you have someone in Australia who also has SKYPE, get them to place their internet camera in front of the TV, and you will be able to watch it. The view will be in second by second freeze-frame, but the sound should come through alright, so it should be better than a radio broadcast.
I haven't tried it yet, but I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work. Let me know how you get on if you do try it.

[therisingblues]

Any news on which games are covered by Life and RPH this weekend?

Ditto.
I just searched the Life Fm, RPH and SANFL website and couldn't find any information.

Whilst I haven't seen any official releases by the any of the stations as yet, to the best of my knowledge, TV and radio coverage for Round 1 SANFL will be:

Saturday 2nd April

Port v Norwood @ AAMI (curtain raiser) 11.15am - 1197am 5RPH

North v West @ Prospect (usual time) 2.10pm - ABC TV

Glenelg v Sturt @ Gliderol Stadium (twilight) 4.10pm - 1197am 5RPH


Sunday 3rd April

Eagles v South @ Woodville (usual time) 2.10pm - 107.9 LifeFM

Thanks Big Phil and Phil H.

Perhaps some kind soul living in Adelaide will put it up on Justin.tv. Pretty please.

Just found this announcement dated 8th Apr on the ABC891 website.

OK it's only 9 Friday night games but it's a start and another choice for people...maybe if it proves popular they'll expand it or at least continue it into future seasons.

http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/201 ... 184678.htm

This season ABC Grandstand has extended it's commitment to SA footy, with 2011 seeing the introduction of live coverage of Friday night SANFL on Grandstand Digital Radio and streamed online.

Headed by seasoned commentators Peter Walsh and Roger Wills, ABC Grandstand will be broadcasting 9 SANFL Friday night matches this year, to completment our coverage of the 2011 AFL season.

"Its about time we were up close and personal with grass roots football. These broadcasts will help us to identify draft picks of the future and also gives the listener a closer look at the second best league in Australia" says Peter Walsh.

Each week the commentary team will also include former and current coaches from the SANFL teams and ex-players who made their name in the league.

Our coverage kicks off this Friday night with the match between Sturt and Norwood, live from Adelaide Oval.

Coverage starts at 7:00pm and can be heard live on our website and on Grandstand Digital 2.

Make sure you visit our SA Football website to keep up to date with all your SANFL news and results and to find out which Friday night match is being broadcast.

[on the rails]

What!!! No AFL coverage of the Port Adelaide Football Club? They, are after all ONE club.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Might have to fly down for the North v Glenelg game. I can handle seeing the game and losing, but if we won and i didn't see or hear it, I'd be devastated.

I don't think it would be that this will be 'Game of the Day', more the ABC making sure all sides get some fair share of television coverage.
