What was considered a dream 12 months ago has now been signed into a legal agreement with Premier Media Group (owners of the Fox Sports Networks) signing a broadcast commitment to air the Griffith University Paradise Regatta sports doco.
With this the final piece of the puzzle in complete and crews will be invited for this chance to take on some of the best crews in the nation with the nation watching.
"This is incredible. To get rowing and dragon boats on TV is electrifying and exciting. Its time for these great athletes to show their skills and get the credit they deserve from a sports hungry Aussie public." Dr Dave Houston said.
For both event and crew sponsors the event exposure the Fox deal ensures is massive with an expected minimum 4 replays.
Broadcast agreements are currently also being worked through with 2 Australian Free to air networks and a broadcast deal with ESPN Asia/Pacific is also in the final stages of approval via water sports magazine program H20 SPORTS - the worlds most widely distributed water sports program.
