So it’s ok to put it on SENtrack, it doesn’t breach the rules as cricket has a wider audience/appeal. I noted Gosford and Wollongong is missing. ---

Bit more info, not behind the paywall. Also a mention of the ABC Sport re-branding,noticed my radio updated over the weekend. Don’t mind Chappelli on the radio, made the Fairfax/Macquarie coverage worth listening to. > **[Grandstand Summer of Cricket now on ABC SPORT | radioinfo](https://www.radioinfo.com.au/news/grandstand-summer-cricket-now-abc-sport)** ---

Yes of course he is on Channel 7. No issues with working with Nine on radio / Channel 7 on TV then that is good. Pardon my ignorance, I am not so clear on the AFL commentators, as I am league fan in NSW 🙂. ---

Bruce was doing NSW vs Tassie. The commentary teams for the shield matches have has excellent. It’s more radio like. SEN or the ABC sports digital channel should simulcast. The cricket has been great to watch, such an underrated comp. Imagine the IPL players were back to play. ---

> [@Laoma](#): > > SEN or the ABC sports digital channel should simulcast. Yes, but they have other shows and sports to cover, which would mean an incomplete simulcast. Also, while it is radio like, they still refer to vision (eg “look at that”), so it would be weird on the radio. ---

Why CA neglected to sign up a Hobart-based station to broadcast home matches at Bellerive still puzzles me. ---

I agree, I resort to the app. I can’t imagine that one of the local stations wouldn’t take it on, but I suspect the price might be a wee bit high. Whats the arrangement when they play BBL in Canberra? ---

I believe CA should allow the ABC to also have rights as well. Like they did some time back. ABC Grandstand Digital use to bring the big bash. ---

> [@Laoma](#): > > ABC Grandstand Digital use to bring the big bash. My suggestion would be that in any area where no commercial broadcaster syndicates Big Bash Nation from SEN, then the ABC should be allowed to take it. Unfortunately the reality of that is very hard and the amount of sponsorship in the Big Bash Nation broadcast would probably be deemed unacceptable to the ABC. The next alternative could be the ABC doing their own coverage that only airs in these areas but I don’t think SEN would allow that given they’ve spent the big bucks to be the holder of all radio rights and it would also be cost prohibitive for the ABC anyway. ---
