Digicel takes 2016 NRL coverage to new height

Digicel PNG is the Exclusive TV Broadcaster of the 2016 NRL season through their Digicel Play service following the Launch of the 2016 PNG NRL season today in Port Moresby.

CEO of Digicel PNG Mr Maurice McCarthy said in its Broadcasting responsibilities they will continue to develop its services into modern technology to enable access to all provinces so the people can enjoy the coverage of the game we all love.

Digicel PNG announced that their NRL engagement coves all aspect of the game bringing a whole new dimension of the game to the rugby league fans in PNG.

“Digicel through its Television station TVWAN will broadcast NRL premiership matches, State of Origin matches, the ANZAC Test, Four Nations Cup and U20 games. We will also increase our commitment to sports and the people of PNG in 2016 and will continue to broadcast the country’s premier league competition the Digicel Cup as well as the QRL Intrust Super Cup 2016 seasons,” says Mr McCarthy.

Apart from being the official and exclusive broadcaster of 2016 NRL season, Digicel PNG will continue to look into ways on how they can telecast the season all around the country at an affordable rate.

“In 2016 Papua New Guineans will be able to enjoy rugby league in more ways than simply watching the games. The 7 City Plan called “NRL in the Park” will be an outdoor cinematic event open to the public in 7 of the country’s major townships that will involve the Governors of the designated provinces and will feature local rugby league heroes, local entertainers and NRL highlights,” adds Mr McCarthy.

This means that locals will also have the opportunity to follow their stars online, better engaged in social media and participate in competitions with Digicel’s major overhaul of the NRL engagement.
