Westnet Welcomes Wildcats to the Freezone

Home » Press » Releases » Westnet Welcomes Wildcats to the Freezone - Media Releases - Westnet Australia

Friday 03 September 2008

Westnet has today announced a new partnership with the Perth Wildcats to broadcast live radio coverage of home games for the 08-09 NBL season on the Westnet Freezone.

The radio broadcast will be hosted by ex-Wildcat Eric Watterson and ex-coach CJ Jackson with special guest commentators including Andrew Vlahov and others from time to time.

The Westnet Freezone gives members access to an expanding range of top quality content that for most plan holders, does count towards their monthly download quota. Live audio broadcasts from the Wildcats are another fantastic addition to the Freezone and will really complement the existing sports offering.

Dan Scott, Marketing Manager at Westnet said "Australians are increasingly using the Internet to watch or tune into their favourite sports and we're delighted to be able to offer this to them quota free. The Freezone has quickly become a highly popular area of the MyWestnet portal and we look forward to introducing even more quality content to the mix'.

Nick Marvin, Wildcats CEO said "This is a first for the club and marks an important landmark in bringing the action not just to the dedicated country and regional fans but also to those who are based interstate or overseas."
