KommunityTV, a dedicated channel from News Corp Australia for audiences to experience community and grassroots sports, is now available for all subscribers of News Corp’s state-based and regional mastheads.
KommunityTV will allow viewers to watch live games as well as replays, highlights and shows from desktop and mobile.
Viewers will also be able to dive deeper into every game with local storytelling highlighting all angles from pre, during and post-game coverage
Michael Wilkins, managing director of news sport network for News Corp Australia: “We have seen more and more people turning to digital platforms to consume live sport. We know KommunityTV will be a crucial next step in this evolution of sports broadcasting.
“This is an opportunity for community sporting organisations to improve their overall exposure in the local and wider community, but also a chance to bring those communities closer together.
“We are proud to launch KommunityTV and look forward to watching the best young athletes across the country."
KommunityTV’s content offering upon rollout includes Australia’s premier junior invitational basketball tournament, the National Junior Classic, as well as the Judo Australia National Championships, Victorian junior country soccer championships and the Netball SA Country Championships.
The sport streaming service will continue to grow News Corp Australia’s season-long partnerships with the AFL NAB League, NRL Schoolboys Cup, Queensland School Sport Rugby League, Victorian Netball League, Southern Football League, Netball SA Premier League and SANFL.
The launch of KommunityTV is being supported by a multi-channel national marketing campaign that will run across digital, print, radio and social channels.
