Should free-to-air sport be an Australian right?

New research has found 69 per cent of Australians access TV via the internet and millions will miss out on watching sport if proposed anti-siphoning laws are not applied to streaming services.

A new study has found 29 per cent of Australians watch TV exclusively through an aerial and 18 per cent of those are considering switching to digital soon. If anti-siphoning laws are not extended to digital services, around half (49%) of people who use free streaming services such as 9Now and 7Plus reported they would simply miss out on watching sport.

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by Free TV CEO Bridget Fair to find out what needs to happen to keep sport and other major television events, on free-to-air TV.

SCA is a member of Free TV Australia, which is behind the Keep Sport Free campaign.
