South Pacific Games 2007 - Free-to-Air Coverage on Maori TV
Naca Nabunobuno
27 August 2007
SOUTH PACIFIC GAMES FREE-TO-AIR ON MAORI TELEVISION
Maori Television is screening daily coverage of a major indigenous sporting event involving 22 countries, 33 sports and several thousand athletes from throughout the South Pacific.

Hour-long highlights from the XIII SOUTH PACIFIC GAMES – to be hosted by Samoa for two weeks from Saturday August 25 – will screen every day on Maori Television from this Tuesday August 28 to Sunday September 9 from 2.00 PM to 3.00 PM (repeated that night from 11.30 PM to 12.30 AM).

Three hour-long specials, SAMOA 2007 – LIVE THE DREAM, will also screen on Sunday September 23, Sunday September 30 and Sunday October 7 from 4.00 PM to 5.00 PM.

Held every four years, the South Pacific Games maintains a high profile within the regional sporting calendar and has a growing reputation for sporting excellence, encouraging sports development within the region and providing a showcase for talent from throughout the Pacific.

More than 4,000 participants in 33 sporting events from 22 Pacific Island nations and territories will compete for medal honours and national pride with host county Samoa taking on the challenge of creating a cultural, competitive and professional event.

Athletes include swimmer Ryan Pini from Papua New Guinea who won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne 2006; Dika Toua in the female 53kg division weightlifting who won silver for Papua New Guinea in Melbourne; and Samoan boxer Warren Fuavailili who was a bronze medalist at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

The event profiles popular Pacific team sports such as netball, football and the rugby sevens. The friendly rivalry between Fiji, Tonga and Samoa is well-known throughout the region and the action will be intense with these countries all fielding competitive sides in the rugby sevens comprising members from their World Cup teams.

Maori Television will screen daily highlights from the XIII SOUTH PACIFIC GAMES from Tuesday August 28 to Sunday September 9 from 2.00 PM to 3.00 PM (repeated that night from 11.30 PM to 12.30 AM); and three hour-long specials, SAMOA 2007 – LIVE THE DREAM, on Sunday September 23, Sunday September 30 and Sunday October 7 from 4.00 PM to 5.00 PM.
