Re: [IRCA] TP's for Wednesday 07/04/12; from Victoria: Aussie rugby on 1503/1548

I asked NZer David Ricquish about your log, and here's what he said:

Pretty much 99.9% certain, this was a big game [some Australian radio
networks even put short term digital radio stations on just for the
match] and Radio Sport sometimes takes ABC sports play by play
commentary [RNZ does not provide sports play by play] so makes
perfect sense to have 1503 [Christchurch + Wellington] and 1548
[Emerald] both carrying the same ABC commentary. This was the State
of Origin match NSW v Queensland, and there's essentially a
trans-Tasman market in most sports codes so as much interest here as
in Aussie.

This would be worth keeping in mind the next time there's a Big Game in 
that part of the world.
