The ABC, SEN and Triple M have all extended the amount of cricket they will cover in the lead-up to the 2024-25 summer
More cricket will be broadcast across the airwaves with Cricket Australia announcing an expanded suite of audio rights deals for the next seven summers.
The ABC, SEN and Triple M, through its parent company Southern Cross Austero (SCA), have all extended the amount of cricket they will cover in a deal that aligns with CA’s broadcast rights with the Seven Network and Foxtel in running through to 2030-31.
- ABC: All men’s and women’s internationals, WBBL and BBL
- SEN: All men’s and women’s internationals, WBBL and BBL
- TripleM: All men’s internationals, three women’s T20 internationals
- All radio streams available for free via cricket.com.au and the CA Live app
The ABC, which will have been carrying cricket coverage for 99 years when this deal is up for renewal, will expand its coverage to include KFC BBL matches, as well as continuing to cover all men’s and women’s internationals and the Weber WBBL.
And SEN will now add coverage of the WBBL in addition to its coverage of all men’s and women’s internationals and the BBL.
Under the agreement, SCA’s Triple M and LiSTNR will broadcast all the Australian men’s internationals games played in Australia, including Tests, One Day Internationals and T20 internationals. Plus, the stations will add the three Australian women’s T20 international games against England to its coverage for the fist time.
The audio rights also include coverage on the networks’ own digital platforms.
