The Sydney Thunder have roared their support of the KFC T20 Big Bash League moving to Network Ten.
After months of
negotiation it was today confirmed that Channel
Ten and secondary
channel ONE HD, will broadcast every match of the Big Bash this season,
meaning that the KFC T20 Big Bash League will be broadcast on
free-to-air television for the first time, with all matches available to
every cricket fan in the land.
The outcome is a
tremendous result for cricket supporters with the deal operating for the
next five years and guaranteeing the competition free-to-air coverage
of all matches.
The Thunder are
delighted with the result, with the team looking forward to the full
support of the people of Western Sydney, both at matches, and through
those watching on Channel Ten and ONE HD.

Coach Chandika Hathurusinghe expressed how important the deal was for
cricket supporters throughout New South Wales: “It is great that cricket
fans throughout the State will get a chance to watch free-to-air
cricket for the next five years on Channel Ten and ONE HD. The benefits
to the Thunder are many and it will allow us to reach a new audience and
showcase what we stand for as a team.
It is tremendous
news from both a cricketing and commercial sense and the Thunder look
forward to working with both Cricket Australia and Network Ten leading
into this season.”
