Airdate: Over the Black Dot

Next week NITV premieres a brand new new league show, Over the Black Dot.

The program features an all-Indigenous line-up, including the host Djuro Sen, rugby league analysts George Rose and Owen Craigie, and field reporter Tanisha Stanton.

Channel Manager for NITV, Tanya Orman said “NITV has a strong history in covering rugby league, from remote Island of Origin in the Torres Strait to the massive Koori Knockouts. With so many Indigenous players in the NRL we can guarantee our new show will deliver exactly what our audiences have asked for in league analysis and discussion.”

Head of Sport for NITV, Mark Ella said, “Rugby League plays an important role in Indigenous communities and we are excited to again have a program on NITV which focuses on all levels of the game, for a country who loves the sport.”

Last December it was announced that League Nation Live would no longer continue.

Named for the perfect shot between the posts, Over the Black Dot will celebrate all tiers of league with expert analysis on the week in review, game highlights and what to expect from upcoming rounds.

The analytical rugby league program will also feature Tanisha interviewing high-profile players, officials and coaches outside the studio, and a light-hearted segment called Rolling with Rose, where George will catch up with players while dropping them at training.

Over the Black Dot’s line-up will be joined weekly by some of the best players and identities in the game as panel guests, with the series championing Indigenous achievement.

Wednesday 12 April at 9.30pm on NITV.
