THE AKA & MACCA SHOW is coming soon
BRISBANE LIONS TO LIVEN UP SPORTS RADIO
Two players from the three-peaters, the Brisbane Lions AFL team, have decided that now that they?ve beaten them, they?ll join them! The media that is?.
The two Brisbane Lions star players Jason Akermanis and Craig McRae are getting themselves in prime talking condition in readiness for their full first radio season as hosts of THE AKA & MACCA SHOW!
The weekly hour long chat show has been produced and developed by the two goal sneaks and will be broadcast to a National listening audience via the Community Broadcasting Satellite Network, ComRadSat, as well as the National Indigenous Radio Service, NIRS.
? It is most heartening to see two popular high profile sportspeople recognising the value and benefits of the community broadcasting sector in this way considering their commercial appeal. There?s many football shows on community stations right across the nation and this show will compliment and join those programs in offering another genuine alternative from the mainstream AFL media. This diversity of AFL media and broadcasting especially to remote and regional areas through ComRadsat and NIRS can only be good for the game?, said Troy Garner CBAA Executive Assistant.
Jason Akermanis believes THE AKA & MACCA SHOW will offer something new to the National radio scene, ? being that we?re both current players, we believe we?ll be able to bring to the listeners every week a rare insight into the inner workings of AFL in 2004. Our aim is basically to entertain and educate and people don?t know this about Macca, but he?s pretty sharp and quite witty! We?re hoping to hear from people all over the country and we?d really like to encourage women to give us call for a chat about footy, as well as all the blokes.?
Akermanis says that being National show it will be an AFL program, not just Brisbane Lions radio, ?we?ll have a different player from a different club every week, and with so many clubs based in Melbourne, we?ve got Channel Seven?s Craig Hutchison giving us reports from there each week as well as talkback from around the country.?
THE AKA & MACCA SHOW- sponsored by Mitsubishi and Falken Tires -will have a website soon, competitions and also do some work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The Aka & Macca show will commence broadcasting on Monday 29th March 2004 on the National Indigenous Radio Service (NIRS) from 5pm-6pm and the following week beginning Monday 5th April also on the Community Radio Satellite (ComRadSat) from 6pm-7pm.
Stations that are currently members of the two networks will choose whether to add the show to their schedules and if so will have the choice of taking the show live or recording it to put to air at a later timeslot.
ComRadSat currently broadcasts to 176 radio stations.
NIRS currently broadcasts to 130 radio stations.
