I don’t think it’s necessarily a quirk. They sometimes do carry the same coverage on SEN and Regional VIC.

It’s more so they can sell different advertising and sponsorship to the metro and regional audience. Especially in big finals games.

No. It quite literally is a quirk. When the last rights deal was done, SEN and Crocmedia were separate companies, and so even though merged, still have to do their own coverage for certain games.

I doubt that’s the reason these days.

In 2020-21, SEN even did seperate coverage for 2 out of 3 sessions of the Test Cricket for their 1170 Sydney audience, primarily so they could sell sponsorship to local Sydney advertisers.

Exactly, certain games. Certain games that Hutchy thinks he can monetise more!

3AW Grand Final Day

Pre-Game Coverage
10am-11am: Matthew Richardson, Tony Shaw, Bruce Eva and Daniel Harford

12pm-1.30pm: Tim Lane, Caroline Wilson, Matthew Lloyd and Jimmy Bartel

Match-Call
Callers: Tim Lane and Tony Leonard
Experts: Leigh Matthews, Matthew Lloyd and Jimmy Bartel

I believe this might be Jacqui Reed’s first time as boundary rider on Grand Final day for AW? Previously I think it’s been Daniel Harford.

Fantastic news. For many radio rights holders have been demanding for live streaming of AFL matches on their own platforms. These stations will now be able to stream their entire coverage online and on mobile, from pre-match to post-match.

This new rights deal will also benefit fans in regional areas who will get more choices for match coverage, not just AFL Nation and ABC.

I notice that some elements of the new radio deal are already in effect: FiveAA has been broadcasting Power and Crows matches since the start of the new AFLW season.

The AFL and Southern Cross Austereo have additionally entered a content partnership to co-create productions for distribution on both the AFL website and app together with the LiSTNR app.

That explains why AFL exchange podcast finished up. Expect a ListnR replacement next year.

On face value (depending on how broadly or narrowly 3AW defines ‘marquee’ games), it seems 3AW will be covering fewer games during the home-and-away season than they have been in recent years.

You would think the 4 games would be Friday night, 1 Saturday afternoon, 1 Saturday night and the 3:20pm AEST Sunday afternoon game.
