Some of the sport’s biggest names will gather behind the microphone when netball’s pinnacle event starts in Sydney on August 7.
Headlined by legendary players Liz Ellis, Sharelle McMahon and Temepara Bailey and broadcast leaders in netball Kelli Underwood, Mel McLaughlin, Anita Navin and Jenny Woods the power house commentary team will work across two playing venues calling the Netball World Cup for a variety of rights-holders across the world.
This commentary group will bring NWC2015 into more homes than ever before with the broadcast going out to Africa, Australia, Oceania and Europe. Their NWC2015 call can also be accessed via live streaming through the Netball Live app subscription across the world excluding England and New Zealand.
NWC2015 broadcasters include FOX SPORTS (Australia), Network Ten (Australia), SKY Sport (New Zealand) and Sky Sport (UK).
For NWC2015 Chief Executive Marne Fechner the group offers a great mix of broadcast and playing experience and talent.
“The NWC2015 commentary team have a wide range of experience and deep understanding of the sport and I have no doubt their call of NWC2015 will be insightful, engaging and knowledgeable.”
The talent team will also take other roles across the event including corporate hosting, sports presentation, leading coaching and umpiring seminars and workshops and master of ceremony roles in FanFEST – the event’s social hub.
