talkSPORT has signed an agreement through Vizeum with Heinz BIG Soup to sponsor the station’s 2013 Super League season coverage.
The multiplatform deal will run both on air on talkSPORT and in print in the station’s sister publication Sport magazine.
On air, the promotion will include regular features in talkSPORT’s afternoon show, Hawksbee and Jacobs, previewing and reviewing the weekend’s Super League games as well as a weekly ticket giveaway and interviews with the top names in Rugby League.

By expanding our Rugby League coverage we are able to bring all of the latest news, interviews and competitions to our listeners and as Official Partner to the Super League Heinz BIG Soup is the perfect brand to work with on this.”
