Will Goodings on FIVEAA Breakfast revealed during Friday’s Breaking @ 8 segment:
“Significant announcement in the last 24 hours with regards to AFL radio rights. The AFL has announced that the rights for the next two years have been settled and the great news from us here at FIVEAA is we will continue to bring every Crows and Power match live.
“There will be four matches broadcast from other markets across the week, but a significant component of that is the announcement that 3AW football – our historical sister station from Melbourne – we’ll be taking their coverage of games much like we saw pre-2017. So for the other matches of the round beyond the local call… you’ll be getting the 3AW call of footy which is as good as it gets.”
PRESS RELEASE:
