Crocmedia is to broadcast live NBA games on Australian radio.
In an Australian first, Crocmedia’s 1377 SEN+ will broadcast a selection of games on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for the remainder of the season.
The 2019 NBA Finals will run on 1377 SEN+ and 1116 SEN.
Pacific Star Network managing director and Crocmedia’s chief executive officer Craig Hutchison said the team was excited to deliver the offering to Australian basketball fans.
“The NBA’s popularity here has reached unprecedented levels thanks to our home-grown talent including Ben Simmons, Patty Mills, Joe Ingles and Thon Maker,” Hutchison said.
“We can’t wait to bring all the excitement of the sport – delivered with our own local flavour to Australian fans – culminating in the NBA Playoffs in April.”
Australians accounted for nine of the 108 international players from a record-tying 42 countries and territories on opening-night rosters for the 2018-19 NBA season.
