I am writting to express the anger that many fans of The Western Force has for the radio sponsor 6PR. they have this listed on there website:
"Perth's Sports Leader 882 6PR proudly sponsors the Emirates Western Force. You'll hear every game live from Subiaco Oval from our broadcast team who will be joined by special guests. You'll also get to hear members of the Emirates Western Force during Sport Central each week on 6PR."
Yet we never seem to hear their games and have been told this:
"To enter simply listen to the 6PR broadcast of any and all home games for the secret question, log onto TWF and follow the links from the home page to enter. Each correct answer after each home game gets you an entry in the draw. Great prize, great commentary with a distinctly Western Australian flavour. Take your radio to the game and tune in to 6PR on 882 AM." though it is doesn't have the audience.
this is what they have said to TWF
`Unfortunately 6PR were only ever committed to covering Home games, and it turns out that even this isn’t going to happen! With the demise of SportFM we are sadly left wanting…To add insult to injury, 6PR management have pulled the next 2 weeks Rugby broadcasts in favour of AFL with the occasional cross to Mick Colliss at the ground. Many (including Mick) are a bit miffed by this decision, but being a commercial enterprise I guess 6PR have to follow the dollar. (a Rugby broadcast apparently runs at a loss) For away games, we managed to find online radio stations doing broadcasts over the internet and quite likely will find the same for home games. If you aren’t at a game or somewhere showing the game, it’s often worth checking in on TWF to see if someone has found a live broadcast.
that they have stated that it doesnt make good programming for their listeners.
If any body has the same problem please post so that we can show them thast it is good progrmming. Pretty simple but i think that it may grab a few organisers attentions.` So much of 6PR being the Rugby sports leading radio station. Please comment so that we can bring this concern to light and maybe let them see that they have the audience for the games at least for next season.
