NORTHSOUND 2 NETS AFC COMMENTARY DEAL WITH SPL

Northsound 2’s Superscoreboard has returned to the air for the new Clydesdale Bank Premier League season, bringing Aberdeen Football Club fans live commentary from every game, home and away.

The audience will be able to keep up with all the Dons’ goals as they happen across the country, as well as inside analysis and commentary on and off the pitch.

Presenters Dave Macdermid and Steven McMenemy will be commentating on every home and away AFC match, while Gary Muircroft will host the Superscoreboard show each week with regular updates on all the action also being broadcast on Northsound 1.

Gary Muircroft, Programme Director at Northsound Radio said: “I am delighted that we have secured live Clydesdale Bank Premier League commentary on Northsound Radio for the 2011/2012 season.

“There is great optimism in the North-east for Craig Brown’s Aberdeen team after his recent signings and pre-season tour. It’s fantastic that Northsound listeners will have the chance to hear every kick of the ball on Northsound 2.”

The commentary deal is being sponsored by Rainbow City Taxis.

Lynne Duncan, Sales and Marketing Manager at Aberdeen Football Club added: “The commentary team is already very well known to subscribers to Red TV, AFC’s internet channel and, with games now being broadcast both on the internet and mainstream radio, Dons supporters throughout the world will be able to follow the action from start to finish.

“Additionally, the Northsound commentary deal significantly strengthens the partnership Northsound and AFC have enjoyed for several seasons and opens up substantial new opportunities.”

Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the SPL, said: “It is great to be announcing this commercial deal with Northsound 2. These deals not only drive more investment into our clubs, but also broaden the coverage of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League for fans. We look forward to working with Northsound 2 over the coming season.”
