Replay of Australian Rules matches on ABC2.

By administrator April 04, 2008
Regarding the decision to discontinue repeat broadcasts of state and territory level Australian Rules.

ABC Response:

In February, ABC TV was relaunched for 2008. This relaunch positioned ABC TV as Australia’s leading multi-platform broadcaster, featuring two distinctive television channels – ABC1 and ABC2.
The new ABC2 schedule aims to cater to wider national audiences. This means that ABC2 now has less scope to include repeat broadcasts of regional-based programming, such as the regional sporting codes referred to above.

These matches will still be broadcast on ABC1 within the state or territory in which each particular competition is played. This will continue to enable the main respective audiences to view and follow the competitions.

The ABC remains committed to providing coverage of Australian sports. In addition to the broadcast of these matches on ABC1, ABC Local Radio covers a wide range of sports on the Grandstand program. This coverage will soon be enhanced by a reinvigorated ABC Sport website, which is currently taking shape.

VICTORIAN football will take centre stage on Grand Final eve, with the VFL and TAC Cup grand finals to be held at Telstra Dome.

The TAC Cup grand final is traditionally played at the MCG on Grand Final day, while the VFL showdown is held at Princes Park.

The TAC decider will start at 4.30pm on September 26, with the VFL match to start at 7.40pm.

Ticket prices are expected to be about $20.

AFL Victoria chief executive Peter Schwab said the move to Telstra Dome was a significant step for the competitions.

Former AFL player Sam Cranage teams with James Byrne in VFL

GEELONG'S VFL squad could be further strengthened this season with the addition of another former AFL player.

Ex-St Kilda and Carlton midfielder Sam Cranage had his first hit-out for the Cats in Saturday's VFL practice match against Werribee at Geelong's Skilled Stadium.

The 27-year-old played 18 games with the Saints and Blues after being taken in the 1997 AFL national draft and was invited to trial with the side by his good friend, Geelong's VFL captain James Byrne.

Cranage spent last season playing with Balwyn in the Southern Football League, but Cats coach Leigh Tudor said he believed his side could benefit from his previous VFL experience playing with Williamstown.

"He's keen to play VFL footy again and we'd love to have him,'' Tudor said.
