ABC Radio supports WAFL footballMonday, March 23, 2015 - 1:23 PM

More than 80 years of tradition is continuing in 2015, with ABC Radio throughout WA again covering the WAFL.

720 ABC Perth, Local Radio WA and Grandstand Digital will broadcast selected WAFL matches throughout 2015, focusing on the stories, the local passions and unique match-day experience the WAFL offers.

Football on the radio is an important part of WA Footy’s rich history, with 720 ABC Perth (formerly known as 6WF) broadcasting the WAFL since 1931 – longer than some clubs have been in the competition!

The 2015 Grandstand WAFL broadcast team is led by award-winning commentators Clint Wheeldon and Corbin Middlemas, alongside dual Sandover Medallist Peter Spencer.

Match broadcasts can be found on the 720 AM frequency and ABC Grandstand on Digital radio throughout the Perth metropolitan area, and on ABC Local Radio frequencies right across Western Australia.

As always, the WAFL will be a major part of the agenda on 720’s Sports Talk program with Corbin Middlemas, Ken Judge and Mark Duffield throughout 2015. Sports Talk returns to its traditional 10am Saturday Morning timeslot on March 28.  

ABC Local Radio began its coverage of the 2015 WAFL season on Friday night with the match between South Fremantle and West Perth from Fremantle Oval.
