The sports fraternity is slowly coming on its feet after facing cancellation for over three months and several cricket tours and matches have already been scheduled for the year.
New Zealand Cricket (NZC), in the wake of worldwide health emergencies, is bringing good news for all the cricket followers. In order to connect more with the cricket lovers, the NZC has signed a three-year broadcasting rights deal with MediaWorks Radio to provide live, free-to-air commentary of all Blackcaps and White Ferns matches in New Zealand, as well as selected content from domestic competitions.
The new deal will see live, ball-by-ball audio commentary on Magic Talk with 31 frequencies covering the length of the country, and on rova, the MediaWorks streaming app.
The deal has been signed ahead of the West Indies, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Australian men and women’s teams touring the nation this summer.
The NZC Chief Executive David White delighted with the agreement also stated: “It will tap into, and service, our traditional fans’ love of live radio commentary, but it will also engage with new audiences and hopefully help widen the game’s appeal.”
NZC will provide more details of the partnership, including commentators, at the launch event which will take place later this month.
