THE SP PNG Hunters and Digicel has confirmed that Saturdays top of the table clash against the Northern Pride will be telecast live on EMTV @ 2.30pm
PNGRFL CEO Brad Tassell said that full credit should be given to Digicel for providing the telecast to EMTV; “Its fantastic that Digicel have provided the rights to telecast the match to EMTV this weekend and for the remainder of the season. Without Digicels investment in the rights to secure the telecast, fans across the nation would not get to see the Hunters play and they should be applauded for giving this gift to the people of PNG. PNGRFL Chairman Sandis Tsaka also said: “The PNGRFL and the SP PNG Hunters are very appreciative of Digicels efforts. We would also like to commend EMTV for recognizing the value of the telecast to fans across the country. I’m sure there will be a lot of happy people across the nation when they hear the news.” Digicel Managing Director John Mangos said the network was dedicated to bringing not only SP PNG Hunters home games to viewers but also away games; “From my understanding this has never been done in the Intrust Super Cup competition and is up there on par with the coverage NRL clubs enjoy. We have over 7 million fanatical fans in PNG who will; be glued to their television sets on Saturday and I thank EMTV for joining the party with us to get the coverage to as many fans as possible. Digicel are committed to the Hunters and the people of PNG and this is our way of saying thank you.” “We are also working hard on initiatives such as live streaming and improving the quality of the broadcast. We believe the Hunters are the dawning of a new era in Rugby League in PNG and we are very happy to be a part of that as a foundation sponsor and telecast partner to the competition.” The match will also be broadcast on Hitron channel 102 and Ch8 on Channel 21. Kick-off is at 2.30pm, with tickets available from Agmark Hardware in Kokopo or at the gate on game day. Comments are closed.
