Conroy confirms: soccer punished with a return to anti-siphoning

by Bernard Keane

The Socceroos’ World Cup qualifying matches will be moved onto the anti-siphoning list from 2014, Broadband and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy told caucus this morning.

Conroy fielded several questions about the anti-siphoning list, originally scheduled for cabinet consideration last Monday but shifted till next week, the last parliamentary sitting week of the year

This isn't good news for the FFA, I'm pretty sure that exclusive coverage of Socceroos games is part of the reason why they spend so much on the whole package (including A-league games). It would have been interesting to see if any of the FTA stations would have been prepared to spend on the A-league. Surely ONE would be looking to bolster their summer content
