ABC Radio Australia to broadcast NRL into the Pacific
ABC Radio Australia has signed a three-year deal to broadcast coverage of the National Rugby League menâs and womenâs competitions to audiences in PNG, Timor-Leste and across the Pacific.
Starting this week, ABC Radio Australia will broadcast ABC Grandstandâs live coverage of the NRL finals as well as the womenâs competition â the NRLW â and the State of Origin series.
Head of International Strategy, David Hua, said the ABC was the only Australian radio broadcaster providing coverage of the NRL to a region that is passionate about the sport.
âNRL is PNGâs most popular sport and one of the leading sports across the Pacific,â he said. âAlmost half of the current NRL players have Pacific Island heritage which means there is an incredibly high interest in the competition right across the region.â
The start of the NRL coverage coincides with the launch of a new ABC Radio Australia Pacific sports show Can You Be More Pacific , hosted by Fijian-Australian comedians Joseph âRoqâ Rokoqo and Ratu âCavâ Cavuilati. The one-hour show will broadcast on ABC Radio Australia on Thursday evenings at 6.00pm PNG time from 8 October.

NRL Nation coverage for 2020 finals week 3
For the first time this year, a Storm game will be heard on SEN in Melbourne. SENTrack will take Fridayâs preliminary final between the Storm and the Raiders from Brisbane.
ABC Radio Canberra will not broadcast the Panthers-Rabbitohs preliminary final on Saturday, due to its ACT election coverage. I believe that match will be heard on News Radio.

How can ABC Grandstand both afl/nrl ifnals same time?
Raiders were always going to get Friday night due to ACT election coverage.
Digital radio makes it possible. The AFL Extra station will be utilised for live coverage with the NRL to be on the main Grandstand station.

AFL airs on Grandstand Digital (and Local Radio) in AFL states, and NRL in NRL states. Grandstandâs NRL coverage is also streamed online and through the ABC Listen app, but the AFL call can only be heard via the AFL website due to the archaic and inept broadcast agreement.

Triple M coverage for NRL Grand Final
The match will be broadcast on analogue FM in Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart and selected Triple M stations in regional VIC and SA from 6pm AEDT.
It appears that 2GB is planning on calling all three State of Origin matches from the grounds, as Mark Riddell is listed as being on the sideline.

I wonder if theyâll broadcast into Melbourne?

Iâd say that Mark Riddell is at the ground and the others are in the studio. In Sydney, they probably will be at the ground.
If not on 3AW they might as well do something with NTS.
