Calling all Sports Fans: Welcome to the Clubhouse
Telstra announce The Clubhouse, its “star-studded” IPTV sports show and “revolutionary” SportFan app today as it goes hard on Internet TV and sports. <\/p>\n

SportsFan is basically a haven for all die hard footy, rugby and sports fans with a TV show on four times a week and a mobile app where you can rate games that are hot and not, set scores, and also has Aussie’s first ever free sport tipping game, Tip-Off. <\/p>\n

The Clubhouse, is Telstra’s new sports panel show broadcast over the web headed by former Network Ten presenter Bill Woods, streamed live across Telstra T Box, online, mobile, tablet or watched on-demand. <\/p>\n

The flagship program mixes comprehensive sports news, comment and opinion from personalities including Matt Burke, Brad Fittler, Brad Seymour, Wendell Sailor, Layne Beachley, Joel Caine, Renee Gartner and Mieke Buchan. <\/p>\n

“There are panel shows out there and a lot try to be too serious, while others try to be too funny and don’t have any substance,” Woods said. <\/p>\n

“What The Clubhouse offers is an intelligent but humorous, satirical but knowledgeable take on Aussie sport – we don’t mince words and we don’t pull punches.” <\/p>\n

The launch of SportsFan and sportsfan.com.au is a “defining moment” in Telstra’s push to become Australia’s premier multi-screen IPTV and digital content provider, said Mark Buckman, Telstra Media Executive Director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Telstra already has exclusive mobile rights to NRL and AFL sports games. <\/p>\n

“What we have in SportsFan is the combination of three market-first products that together create an engaging multi-screen brand specifically tailored to Aussie sports fans,” said Buckman.  <\/p>\n

The Clubhouse will be shown on on the SportsFan App, allows fans to vote on which live matches across all sports are the most exciting, giving a live barometer of what’s “Hot” and ‘Not”. <\/p>\n

Users can select favourite sports and teams and receive personalised notifications alerting them to a range of scenarios, including the ability to set score and “excitement” alerts and there is also an “R U Watching This” tool which lets users determine which live matches are the most exciting. <\/p>\n

“The SportsFan App is the ultimate tool to keep across what’s happening in Australian sport at any given moment,” Mark Buckman said.<\/p>\n

 “For example if you’re a NRL fan and your team is about to upset the premiers, you’ll get a personal alert to tune in and check the score, or watch it live on the NRL LIVE 2013 App.” <\/p>\n

The SportsFan app also offers Australia’s first free multi-sport tipping game, Tip-Off, which gives sports fans of all ages the chance to participate in a fun tipping game across a range of sports including AFL, NRL, Rugby, tennis, horse racing, and more, to win sports merchandise prizes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
