CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GEELONG CATS - 2011 AFL PREMIERS!

It's been an amazing season of footy and we're all sad to see the end of it.

The National Indigenous Radio Service Board and Management would like to say thank you to everyone involved in the AFL broadcast and production team.  Your hard work has resulted in consistently outstanding coverage this year.

Thank you to the AFL and AFLQ for a great relationship.

Thanks to 98.9fm in Brisbane for all your support.

A very big thank you to our major sponsors, "Learn Earn Legend" and Virgin Australia.

Finally, thank you to all the stations within the NIRS network that take our broadcast and thank you to all our listening audience across Australia.  We hope you enjoyed our coverage!

NIRS AFL coverage will be back next year - who will take out the 2012 premiership?

AFL in 2012 - IT'S GETTING BIGGER

AFL Indigenous Broadcasting will be an exciting key part of the continued growth in AFL, with the 18^th team, Greater Western Sydney, joining the competition in 2012.

Our broadcast team will be there week-in-week-out with coverage right across each round covering approximately 100 games, from Friday nights through to Sunday afternoon, as well as every final LIVE.

Off the field, we keep you up to date on every major footy story that breaks across Australia through our hourly National Indigenous News Service.

In 2012, we'll suit up again, bigger and better, with all the big names.

For sponsorship opportunities please call general manager Brett Leavy on 0421 009 279.

THE COVERAGE

The vast National Indigenous Radio Service has over 200 stations across Australia, including a significant presence in Brisbane, plus the Gold and Sunshine Coast via 989fm in Brisbane.

A listener survey conducted in October 2009 found that approximately 700,00 people tune in each week, which will grow in 2011 with the extra coverage planned, plus the fact, in moving forward our broadcasts will be played live via www.afl.com.au

Footy with passion, footy with precision, footy with attitude, footy that informs as well as entertains.
