A
radio station will broadcast all of Adelaide United�s matches in the
A-League season after it confirmed its commitment as the Reds� official
radio broadcast partner.
And ABC Grandstand will broadcast up to 10 Melbourne Victory matches in the championship.
Life
FM 107.9 will broadcast every minute of each of United�s games this
season live, the station returning as the Reds� broadcaster after
calling Adelaide's matches for the first two years of the A-League.
On
the announcement Adelaide United chief executive Sam Ciccarello said:
�It is fantastic to have Life FM back on board, particularly after they
were our broadcast partner for the first two years of the league.�
�They
did a great job then and they have shown interest in the club�s
progress over the journey and when the opportunity came up again to
broadcast our games in the A-League, they showed a genuine interest.�
Life FM�s broadcast starts with the Reds� season opener against Perth Glory on Friday, August 7, at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Meanwhile,
Melbourne Victory and ABC Radio also announced a landmark broadcast
deal one week before the club's season opener against Central Coast
Mariners at Etihad Stadium on Thursday, August 6.
ABC Grandstand
will broadcast up to 10 Victory home matches on 774 ABC Melbourne,
digital radio and online, with the club's four remaining home matches
to be broadcast on digital radio and online only
