2GB Sydney has announced full details of their NRL season coverage and a star-studded line-up, ahead of the 2023 season.
Having secured broadcast rights to the NRL until 2027, 2GB has assembled the biggest and best names in rugby league broadcasting to spearhead its unrivalled coverage.
The Continuous Call Team will return in 2023 for its 37th consecutive year on air. Former rugby league international Allana Ferguson will join the team, alongside Kangaroo and NSW Origin stars Boyd Cordner and Josh Morris.
Through 2GB and stations right across Australia, listeners will continue to hear all of their favourites, with Mark Levy, Darryl Brohman, Mark ‘Piggy’ Riddell, Shane Flanagan and Jamie Soward all returning.
2GB also boasts the most experienced commentary line-up in rugby league, with David Morrow, Mathew Thompson and Chris Warren calling games each week, while Ray Hadley will headline the commentary box during the State of Origin and NRL Finals series.
2GB’s Wide World of Sports will once again be hosted by Mark Levy in 2023. He’ll be joined each week by Premiership coach Shane Flanagan, NSW and Premiership captain Paul Gallen, NSW Origin coach Brad Fittler and legendary broadcaster Ken Sutcliffe.
And a new offering from 9Podcasts, The Billy Slater Podcast has been launched in 2023, while the popular Six Tackles With Gus podcast returns. Both podcasts are available for free on all audio streaming platforms.
Luke Davis, 2GB Content Manager, said “2GB has a great legacy of ‘fun, frivolity and football’ throughout the NRL season and 2023 is shaping up as our biggest and best year yet! We’ve assembled a team of fan-favourites and some of the most accomplished and respected names in rugby league. With The Continuous Call Team, Wide World of Sports and our podcast offerings, footy fans will be able to access quality content and entertainment every day of the week, all season long.”
