Sport FM/Perth Now Streaming exclusive

[DavidSmithSportFM]

Hi All,

I'm pleased to tell you that due to a new partnership agreement we have made with Perth Now all Force matches in the Super 14 this season will be streamed live.

This is a major coup for Sport FM 91.3 on two fronts. We now have the support of the Sunday Times/Perth Now organisation, and we are the first radio station to be allowed to stream commentary of the Force live.

You can access the streaming through our own website at www.sportfm.com.au or through the Perth Now site www.perthnow.com.au.

I hope all those unable to get to the games and who are outside our broadcast area will appreciate the streaming coverage. I'll post more about the contents of our first Force program a little later in the week.

Fantastic news, David! Much kudos to all involved in setting this up!

[BDAVEY]

Can we get this broadcast in the country WA

[Darren]

it's being streamed live on the internet - you can get it anywhere in the Australia and New Zealand!

[Burgs]

Nice work David
I'm assuming this is just home matches though?
The killers are the SA Away matches when it's too late to go to pubs etc.

i'd say Casino Burgs, but that probably won't help you

Dave if you can get the away matches it would be a major coup as Fox stopped half way through the last series game.

Hi all,

Every game will be available on the streaming service home and away.

I'm told the technical restrictions are that the streaming is limited to Australia and New Zealand.

Not trying to be smart, but not the South African ones?
Still a great improvement on previous years regardless

[Darren]

stop being a smart arse, Burgs ... They did broadcast South African games last year.

[DavidSmithSportFM]

Yes ALL games will be streamed on the Internet via the two sites I have mentioned including the two games in South Africa.

Sport FM 91.3 is committed to bringing Force fans the most comprehensive coverage possible, and obviously the away games are in many respects more important to broadcast as the distances involved are too great for the majority of fans to travel to support the team.

great news....

my reading is the stream will go to aust and nz only, but sportfm will cover all force games wherever in the southern hemisphere they are.


David: for the Force@ Spewbi games, what time do you and the crew arrive at the ground and leave? I'm sure if you wanna pop over to the bowlo either before or after (more likely) some of us might offer you a beverage and a chat.

I wasn't around last year and that was last year anyway

Thanks for clarifying for me David
