Episode Notes
After the turmoil of the last six months, there’s some good news for netball.
The ANZ Premiership will be available on free-to-air TV, with TVNZ taking over the broadcasting of the competition.
Head of Sport at TVNZ, Melodie Robinson told Piney they got some really good results when they experimented with it last year, and they’ve seen year on year growth with their previous experiments.
“What that’s saying to us is if you put it on free to air, you make it accessible. You schedule it the right way, then Kiwis are gonna come and watch.”
