Hello All,
My name is David Smith and I've just taken over the Sport FM 90.5 radio coverage for the Western Force this season.
Some of you may already be aware of me from the station's coverage of Perth Glory.
I'm planning a huge improvement on what was provided for Force fans last season.
Instead of taking a "host" feed of away games I will travel to all games within Australia and New Zealand to provide Force fans with coverage slanted towards our team. It means 11 of the 13 games will have our own commentary team. The exception are the two games in South Africa.
As the season approaches I'll provide you with more details about the coverage, and each week during the season I'll update you on the broadcast plans for that week.
I'm now in the process I've finding sponsors to make the coverage possible. If your company would be interested please contact me at forcerugby905@hotmail.com - please provide your name, contact numbers and company details.
I'm thrilled to be involved with the Force coverage this year. I am listing some of my broadcasting experience.
