The ABC may discontinue Brumbies coverage after Tim Gavel's retirement, raising Super Rugby concerns.
The ACT Brumbies could disappear off the airwaves amid fear the ABC will lock the doors of its Canberra Stadium commentary box and shut down on-site coverage of Super Rugby and NRL games at the venue.
Tim Gavel's decision to put down the microphone after 36 years has left the ABC without a lead caller, with the network to reconsider their plans for NRL and Super Rugby coverage in Canberra from next year.
Now the network has refused to commit to broadcasting Brumbies games, sparking concern Super Rugby coverage will fall by the wayside.
