by Team BV

How can I find out what’s happening at the 2016 Victorian Open? Here’s your guide to media coverage via Bowls Victoria, and mainstream media outlets.
 
LOCAL MEDIA
Watch: WIN TV Shepparton
WIN TV covers the event in detail on its local news. It’s on weeknights during the tournament from 6pm. They’re terrific supporters of our event. So watch WIN TV News for wraps of the event on weeknights. And keep an eye out for the Vic Open TV ad running on WIN if you’re in town!
 
Read: Shepparton News
The Shepparton News provides excellent coverage of both the Victorian Open, and of the Goulburn Valley pennant competition. The newspaper is a strong supporter of local bowls. We urge our members and those involved in the event to support them, and buy the newspaper daily. You can also catch the Shepparton News online, or subscribe to the Smart Edition.
 
Listen: ONE FM Bowls show
Brian Nisbet and Daniel Nichols have a great local bowls program covering all news in the Goulburn Valley, including the Victorian Open, on a Saturday morning from 8am on 98.5FM. Listen in for a preview and wrap-up of the event.
