You’ll be able to hear the ICC World Cup on SEN in 2019, with Crocmedia securing the broadcast radio rights for the tournament.
Crocmedia today announced a new broadcast radio rights partnership for the Australian cricket team’s upcoming tour in India and the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England and Wales.
The World Cup, which gets underway May 30th, will be available across 1116 SEN, 1377 SEN+, 1629 SEN SA and DAB+ platforms.
SEN has also secured the radio broadcast rights for Australia’s tour of India in late February. These include five ODIs and two T20 internationals and will continue what has been a fantastic contest with India this summer.
The deals, secured with Sports Flashes - India’s fastest growing multi sports, multi-languages digital content platform, follows SEN’s successful summer of cricket which saw the network exclusively cover all 59 BBL matches as well as Australia’s Test series matches against both India and Sri Lanka through its rights deal with Cricket Australia.
Crocmedia is the exclusive provider of Big Bash Nation radio for the next six years into most capital cities and across regional Australia.
Executive Director of Crocmedia, Chris Giannopoulos, said the team was excited to be bringing more International cricket to local fans.
“We were thrilled to add cricket to our summer sports line-up this year – headed by our Chief Sports Caller Gerard Whateley - who also led our coverage of the much-discussed Aussies’ 2018 tour of South Africa,” Giannopoulos said.
“Cricket on the radio is part of the fabric of the Australian sporting culture and we look forward to expanding our live coverage through the upcoming Aussie tour in India and the ICC Cricket World Cup.”
