Big jump in Perth not known for regular FM broadcasts of AFL apart from Sport 91.3 via NIRS. Interested to see how the listeners respond.
Triple M Melbourne and Perth are covering 7 games while Triple M Adelaide is covering 8.

Someone needs to remind Triple M that their Warragul station is now Triple M.
Apparently the West Coast v Gold Coast game is on Triple M and Hit in regional WA (Hit taking the AFL Nation call). Somehow I doubt that’s correct.

The Hit stations taking AFL Nation are on an existing deal that was previously for Red FM under the old Redwave management.
I think the deal concludes after this season. SEN will probably put up low power transmitters in those markets once it ends.

Hence only the northern WA Hit stations are taking the call

Does that mean the northern Triple M stations aren’t getting the Triple M call?

Nope - per the MMM website
All Triple M Perth coverage is networked to all Triple M WA Regionals
With Hit Broome, Geraldton, Karratha, Port Hedland and remote WA taking the SEN/AFL Nation call for West Coast and Fremantle games, commercial FM radio offers little variety on matchdays in these markets.

Crocmedia has launched a new in-stadium AFL commentary app called SEN Stadium for matches at Marvel Stadium. It will be used for the first time this Saturday night (March 27) when St Kilda take on Melbourne.
AFL Nation coverage for Round 2
I notice that Voice 99.1 FM is broadcasting Bulldogs v Eagles and Dockers v GWS this Sunday. Is that the community radio station at Yarra Valley outside Melbourne?

Interesting to see how this will work. I’d reckon they’d be better off either reinstating SportsEars or getting a low power FM repeater of either AM or TV commentary.

Seems that the ABC has lost the rights to broadcast the 3.20pm game in Victoria, if it overlaps with the 1.10pm match. The ABC had been able to join the 3.20pm match at around quarter time in the past two seasons.
However the ABC’s coverage of that game can still be heard via the AFL website and AFL official app.

The triple M coverage seems suss to me.
Is BT really doing all 3 Saturday Games? Leigh Montana and Daisy doing 2 Saturday Games?
Doesn’t Dennis normally do the WA game? Something is up there.

It’s pretty clear some errors have been made with the Saturday listings - commentators/pundits don’t usually do two games back-to-back
