Looks as though ABC Riverina’s 675AM transmitter is once more relaying the standard NSW schedule including the NRL once more (rather than cutting away for the AFL like they usually do). This has happened in the past (back in 2022), but was changed back after a few weeks.
Remains to be seen if this time it’s a permanent change, or if it’s just someone forgetting to manually change the programming over (which I believe was the case last time). I’ll keep an eye on it.

That’s impossible as he’s already listed for AFL coverage.
The ABC will fly additional commentators from Sydney and Melbourne to SE Queensland for the AFL (Brisbane v Geelong and Gold Coast v Port Adelaide) if required.
