NRL coverage

Hey there, yep, 549 was the best I could find.

675 seemed to be taking the NRL tonight too.

For what it’s worth. From wikipedia.

The station is heard on these main AM and FM frequencies along with a number of low-power FM repeaters:

2CO 675 AM[2]
2RVR 89.9, 100.5 and 102.7 FM

During Australian rules football and rugby football season, the station offers a split service, with AFL games airing on the main transmitter and NRL and Super Rugby games airing on the FM repeaters. This decision was made because ABC Riverina’s service territory is split by the Barassi Line, which separates the traditional centres for Australian rules football and rugby.

I’m guessing then that 88.1 2RVR at Hay is NRL as well…

Yeah I guess no AFL yet so all of Riverina’s frequencies should be NRL. I was a bit surprised 999 am at Broken Hill did not have league given no AFL.

I think it’s all AFL there… no Barassi line to speak of out there.

Ignore that 2BH takes NRL calls… 2BH isn’t really a good fit for Caralis in terms of community ties of interest and how that fits in with their network programming model, but that’s for another thread.

Gone are the days that 2SM used to only get the interstate matches. Bulldogs v Roosters is a good match for SM.

Who called for 2SM in that era?

I can’t quite remember. It wasn’t that long ago - back when NRL Nation first started on BOG stations, they only used to get the lesser popular games that didn’t appeal as much to Sydney listeners.

Glen’s highly experienced. Sport at GB in the early 00’s, DMG, then the other side of the media fence and back, TV and now some casual at the ABC.

Glen Lauder was also at 2UE news for the last 18 months or so, can’t forget that!

Indeed @SydneyCityTV, can’t forget that either. He’s had a versatile career full of variety thus far and proof he can rise to whatever new challenge he’s working at.

How long has Andy Raymond been at the ABC? I’ve never heard him commentate on radio before.

Didn’t he leave Fox Sports a couple of months ago as part of the job cuts?

Today was his first ABC call according to Andrew Moore last night.
