Surrey cricket renews talkSPORT partnership

Surrey CCC has renewed its partnership with UTV Media (GB) – owner of talkSPORT and Sport Magazine – to promote this year’s Friends Life t20 matches at the Kia Oval.

The deal will see Surrey benefit from regular advertising on talkSPORT and Sport Magazine, with listeners and readers enjoying regular opportunities to win tickets to the matches – both in the stands and in the brand new ‘Club Level’ seats situated in the iconic OCS Stand.

On top of this, Surrey players will feature regularly throughout the summer on talkSPORT, with dedicated content on talkSPORT.co,.uk.

Club captain Rory Hamilton-Brown and young Surrey and England fast bowler Stuart Meaker appeared live with Richard Keys and Andy Gray on Tuesday to launch ticket sales and announce the deal.

In 2011, Surrey won promotion back to the LV= County Championship Division One and triumphed in the Clydesdale Bank 40 Final at Lord’s – the club’s first silverware since 2003.

talkSPORT was named ‘Sony Radio Academy Station of the Year’ in May 2011, achieved record audience figures with the acquisition of big name talent and added to its growing package of live commentary rights which includes this summer’s UEFA EURO 2012 and the Barclays Premier League.
