Australian Pro Leagues Scramble After Broadcaster Collapse, Secure New TV Deal
March 28, 2024
The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has been hit by a crisis due to their broadcaster, Global Advance, entering administration.
The failure of Global Advance has resulted in financial challenges for APL, including unpaid costs and the necessity for staff layoffs.
Despite these setbacks, the APL has managed to secure a deal with NEP to cover the production for the remainder of the 2023-24 A-League season.
All A-League men's and women's matches will continue to be televised under the new arrangement with NEP.
Uncertainty looms over the future of the Newcastle Jets and Canberra United, yet the APL is focused on broadcasting all games and recovering owed funds.
