Media Coverage
Coverage of The Victorian Premier League is provided by the local non-profit community television station, Channel 31 Melbourne on the new EXTRA TIME TV Football Show, as well Green Gully providing a program of their own on the same network. As with the New South Wales Premier League Grand Final, an edited version of the 2006 and 2007 decider was also played on the Aurora pay television channel. Live calls of games were occasionally broadcast on sports radio station SEN 1116, along with discussion on the league, although that station's increased Australian Football League commitments have pushed that coverage aside. Print coverage is generally scant in Melbourne's two major daily newspapers, the Herald Sun and The Age, but more coverage is provided by specialist newspaper GoalWeekly, non-English language newspapers, and free suburban newspapers. As of 2010, Victorian Premier League is now radio broadcast on Radio Australia as well as ABC Local Radio's Grandstand coverage, and a new TV Show EXTRA TIME TV on Channel 31 going digital and now State Wide & first time VPL Live Matches Online.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
