Landmark Broadcast Deal for A-League
After 7 years of nothing but subscription television
coverage the A-League will find a new home next season with SBS signing on to
televise one game a week live.
The A-League’s latest television deal totals a $160 million
dollar investment into the game over a four year period commencing in June 2013
and running through to June 2017.
The A-League television and digital rights have been sold which
may result in possible subscription access to games online.
SBS will be broadcasting Friday night matches, a strategy implemented
by the NRL that will lead nicely into
Foxtel’s weekend broadcast and is hoped
to drive subscriptions and ratings.
SBS will televise all A-League finals on a one hour delay.
Socceroos World Cup Qualifiers will also be broadcast on SBS
on a one hour delay with Foxtel to cover all Socceroos games live.
