KommunityTV strikes streaming deals with Tennis Australia and Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League

Australia's community sports streaming service, KommunityTV, has announced new streaming deals with Tennis Australia and the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League.

The service will exclusively stream matches from Tennis Australia’s five remaining Australian junior championship events in 2024. Additionally, every game of the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League National Championships will be streamed.

The live streams will be accompanied by news stories and profiles on the teams, clubs and players in News Corp Australia’s metro and regional mastheads.

"KommunityTV is a trusted partner to many sporting organisations at a national, state and local level in Australia and is backed by a global media company unlike other players in the market. Our unique selling point is our fantastic story-telling and our amplification through our newspapers, digital network and social media channels," News Sport Network Managing Director, Michael Wilkins, stated.

Wilkins also revealed the company's priority list. "We have strong ambitions for growth, with plans to increase the ways subscribers can access KommunityTV and to enhance the user experience. KommunityTV represents a strong proposition for commercial partners who want to engage with grassroots sports participants and fans across the country."

Launched in 2022, KommunityTV streams live and on-demand events and competitions across 12 sports, including Australian Rules, Basketball, Netball, Rugby League and various Olympic disciplines such as Athletics and Water Polo. The service experienced strong engagement in April, hosting national events such as Basketball Australia’s Under-18 and Junior Wheelchair National Championships, Netball Australia’s National Netball Championships, Tennis Australia’s Australian Junior Clay Court Championships, Water Polo Australia’s Australian Water Polo League, and the Australian Little Athletics Championships.

KommunityTV cited Adobe Analytics figures showing more than 1.7 million minutes viewed across its services during the month.
