PEEL Thunder will have four games televised on the Channel 7 this year as part of the new broadcast deal.
Channel 7 will be telecasting WAFL matches as part of a three-year deal which will see 18 games plus finals shown on Channel 7 and 7Mate.
Peel Thunder’s first televised game will be in Round 5 against East Perth and their second in Round 15 against Subiaco. They will then have two home games broadcast in round 18 against Swan Districts and 21 against East Perth.
Nick Sautner, Western Australian Football Commission chief operating officer, said the 2015 WAFL fixturing process had endeavoured to achieve a home and away flow for each club wherever possible, maximise attendance and focus on key rounds for the competition. “A significant number of club requests have been met and exciting clashes scheduled for feature rounds,” he said.
“We have tried to minimise changes to traditional start times for games where possible, while also trying to maximise viewership opportunities by avoiding direct clashes with AFL games and leading into and out of live AFL games on the 7 Network.”
