CrocMedia launches AFL Nation Countdown

Melbourne production house Crocmedia is launching a new AFL-themed program which will stream on AFL.com.au and feature the latest footy news, views and interviews.

Regular presenters Kane Cornes, Damian Barrett and Mitch Cleary will join host Tristan Foenander and reporters from AFL.com.au for the live three-hour program every Friday between 3pm and 6pm EST.

Foenander will also be joined by CrownBet’s Ben Dixon as part of the weekly match previews.

AFL Nation Countdown will be streamed live on AFL.com.au and simulcast on AFLnation.com.au.

Crocmedia content director Dave Carter said the program would provide a comprehensive wrap of the week’s footy news.

“AFL Nation Countdown curates the best of the week’s footy stories and interviews into a condensed news-based program, delivered by some of the country’s best AFL journalists and commentators,” he said.

“This debut program for Crocmedia will offer brands an exciting opportunity to connect with footy followers in every corner of Australia on the number one sports site in the country, AFL.com.au.”

General manager AFL Media & Broadcasting Peter Campbell said: “We’re extremely excited by the launch of Crocmedia’s new program and expect fans will be eager to tune in. This will be a great addition to AFL.com.au – particularly on a Friday afternoon as fans around the country look to gather as much news and information ahead of the start of the Round.”

AFL Nation Countdown launched yesterday.

A range of sports marketing topics are set to be tackled at the Mumbrella Sports Marketing Summit which is being held at the Sydney Cricket Ground on June 21. To see the program and to buy tickets click here.
