A contract with Channel 31 has been signed today whereby we will be televising a half hour TV program called SMFC TV every Saturday morning at 10am from 17th April.
Channel 31 will also be going digital this year meaning all FTA viewers will have equal access compared to all other networks - this is a significant achievement and exposure for our Club.
All our sponsors and players will benefit from this milestone and I welcome you to tune in and feel a sense of pride that you are all part of the South Melbourne Football Club.
Below is the announcement on the website.

Head of Marketing, Corporate Sales, and Events George Triantos speaking to smfc.com.au said "This is an another exciting move by the Club as we now have a full compliment of TV, print, radio, online and digital mediums to promote the Club. Three months of planning and discussions have seen the program become a reality, with the necessary capital investment in equipment to ensure the program is of a high quality. I would like to thank all members of the Multimedia Subcommittee working together to achieve this fantastic outcome."
