Ross Booth on radio

Submitted by cobrascorer on
Ross Booth has resumed his VFL preview at around about 9.45am on Fridays on ABC radio 3WV 594kHz and Bendigo 91.1MHz. 3WV should be audible in most suburbs. He commented today (Friday 7th) that ABC TV was commited to a bowls tournament on Saturday 8th so couldn't cover footy.

Ons, they've finished up for the year mate he won't be able to plug your site again next week :D In all seriousness it was a terrific appointment by the ABC, one they should have made at the start of 2003 rather than six weeks into it but he's been super for the competition all the way back to 2000 really when the VFL reformed with the pay-TV coverage. Hopefully they are all back next year.

Yep, I agree. Donegan has been outstanding for the coverage and it would be great if he does stay around next year. Is he a freelancer, asking becayse he is sometimes involved with more than station at once? For example, there was a week where he was in Sydney doing the racing and couldn't call the VFL.

I understood that Dave Lennon was only a temporary appointment. He has continued to do match reports for ABC Radio in Tasmania of Tasmania's games in Victoria. Donegan must be a freelancer as he does other sports on radio and TV apart from the VFL coverage.

P Donegan can call anything. He's accurate, he's fair and he's got a good feel for sport and the people who play it. He basically holds the ABC coverage together.

Peter Harley substituted for Ross Booth on the Friday morning VFL segment on 3WV and Bendigo 91.1. It was good to hear Dave Lennin praising the VFL saying that it was better than the AFL - faster, less flooding and time wasting, etc.

Ross Booth's segment on 3WV and Bendigo 91.1 was not on on Friday 17 August - the regional stations just relayed 3LO most of the day.

3LO is like the VFA, re-named, and not like it used to be

Blackrocker, 3LO is still 3LO on latest (August 2007) ACMA list. I don't think the woman who stopped the use of call signs on the ABC would have been the same person who blocked the mentioning of VFL on ABC radio. [/b]
