2014 Televised Games[edit]

Channel Nine[edit]

In August 2012 as part of the historic $1 billion five-year broadcasting agreement with Nine and Fox Sports, the Australian Rugby League Commission confirmed that Intrust Super Cup matches would be televised by Channel 9 until 2018. One match a week is shown live across Queensland at 2.00pm (AEST) on Sunday afternoons on Channel 9 (or GEM), on WIN Television (RTQ) in regional areas and on Imparja Television in remote areas. The match is also broadcast in Papua New Guinea on Kundu 2 TV. The 2014 commentary team was Peter Psaltis, Scott Sattler and Mathew Thompson. All home games, including one of the pre-season trial matches were streamed live through the Pride website.

Live Streaming[edit]

From Round 1 2012 the Pride began live streaming their home games free to members via their website ($5 for non-members).[11] From Round 5 2012 away games were streamed through the website as well (Free to members, $5 to non-members).[12] In 2013, all matches (including pre-season trials but excluding matches broadcast live by Channel Nine) were streamed live through the Pride website, with access granted exclusively to Pride members.[13] Video production was by Studio Productions and the commentary team was Adam Jackson and Northern Pride Under-18s coach, Cameron 'Spiller' Miller.
