Offer Tommy Flanagan a 20-year broadcasting deal
Offer Tommy Flanagan a 20-year broadcasting deal
The issue
Tommy Flanagan, affectionately known as "Flanas," is arguably the greatest play-by-play sports commentator in the history of the world. His passion for sports and his gift for engaging and entertaining an audience make him a treasured figure in the world of sports broadcasting. Yet, despite his incredible talent, Flanas does not have a long-term contract that matches his expertise and what he brings to the industry.
For years, Flanas has delighted viewers with his dynamic commentary on AFL and cricket games. His insights, humour, and ability to bring the excitement of the game to life for viewers have earned him a loyal fan base. Simply put, watching a game is not the same if Flanas isn't calling it.
Given his outstanding capabilities and dedication to the art of sports broadcasting, it is highly befitting for Channel 7 or Fox Sports Australia to offer Tommy Flanagan a 20-year sports broadcasting deal. This would not only honor his contributions to sports media but also ensure that fans continue to enjoy top-tier commentary from a voice that embodies the spirit and thrill of Australian sports.
Having Flanas call major AFL and cricket matches would enrich the viewing experience for countless fans across the nation. Viewers deserve to enjoy a deeper connection with their favourite games through commentary that is as lively and insightful as Flanas’.
Now is the time for Channel 7 or Fox Sports Australia to recognise the unique value Tommy Flanagan brings to sports broadcasting. By securing a long-term contract, these networks would not only secure their position as leaders in sports media but also enhance the joy and excitement of millions of fans who cherish Flanas’ legendary voice.
Help make this a reality by signing this petition to urge Channel 7 and Fox Sports Australia to offer Tommy Flanagan a 20-year deal. Let’s ensure that future generations of sports fans are inspired and entertained by the unparalleled commentary of Flanas. Sign now and support a broadcasting legend in receiving the recognition he justly deserves.
