Hello All
Another cracking round of rugby in the Mitre 10 Cup. Is it time for Canterbury to panic? How good are BOP looking? Can anyone stop Tasman? Steven Harris and I will talk about all of that on The Mitre 10 Cup Show this evening at 8pm.

the recording will be available on YouTube or via podcast https://anchor.fm/drivingmaul

Very late but here are my post match interviews from both the Miter 10 Cup and Farah Palmer Cup games:

Starting tomorrow morning we'll be producing a morning Sports News Show. Initially it will be broadcast on Facebook and the recording put out as a podcast.

For tomorrow we'll host it on my DrivingMaul channel but this show won't be rugby centric and we'll be setting up new pages etc... for the channel.

The idea is that over time we will add in other shows to grow the content out to be an online NZ focused Sports Radio Channel. We have a number of ideas how this will look and I'm sure that vision will evolve over time.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Folks today we have launched the New Zealand Radio Sport facebook page. We'll be adding in a podcast for those that want to listen on the move soon.

We are starting with the 8am Morning Sport Briefing (been live for 2 days now) and will be adding more opinion, interview, talkback and feature shows over time.

Thank you in advance is you decide to support the supporters radio station.

Feels like a bit of walking over a corpse going on here. Not sure it endears me to ever listening, to be honest.

in fairness, it's NZME that's created a void by destroying a staple of sports fans in this country.

@DrivingMaul is trying to bridge that void for people; it feels sudden, but that's not his fault.

That's fine. But, to channel ol' mate Stargazer, he could have perhaps created a separate thread.

not a bad idea,

Amazing how quickly that happened. Revenues must have absolutely cratered

Radio makes money off of advertising so when that dries up, there is no revenue basically.

Yup and with Facebook taking a bigger and bigger slice of the marketing pie due to it's hyper targeting there needed to be a review of the model but it's not happened. I Heart Radio app is perhaps the only move in that direction that I've seen.

@Smudge I'm sorry you feel that way, IF we can get this up and running we will be reaching out to some of the Radio Sport people to see if they would like to contribute

@Stargazer We is me (Paul Bains) and people that I have been collaborating with producing content on DrivingMaul for the last 6 or so years. There's about 6 of us involved so far and we are all doing this for free at the moment hoping to build it into something.

You might know Steven Harris who's contributes on this forum, he's part of the we. Also the only one with any radio experience at all.

That's good as we aren't restricted by how it "should" be done but also means we don't really know what hurdles we are going to come across.

Play a short Super Rugby amongst NZ teams and then have all the players go back to their clubs for what remains of the club competition that will go on for longer.

@booboo Thank you very much, really trying to figure out what a talk radio station looks like in the new digital/video on demand/podcast era

@Chris-B Agreed that it needs to be available for commutes/driving. Podcasts are already doing that and some hybrid of live/near-live is what I'm thinking of how I can deliver.

@Donsteppa maybe another service can be stood up in its place without the legacy overheads of studios and things?

One thing this crisis has taught us is that radio broadcasting can be done remotely, it doesn't need fancy studios
