  • Inquiry Into the Broadcasting Services Amendment (Anti
    INQUIRY INTO THE BROADCASTING SERVICES AMENDMENT (ANTI-SIPHONING) BILL 2012 FOXTEL RESPONSE TO SENATE ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS LEGISLATION COMMITTEE 4 April 2012 INTRODUCTION FOXTEL welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Broadcasting Services Amendment (Anti- Siphoning) Bill 2012 (the Bill), referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Environment and Communications (the Committee) for comment on 22 March 2012. FOXTEL’s submission is structured as follows: 1. The Executive Summary outlines FOXTEL’s key concerns and submissions. 2. Part A sets out a sample of FOXTEL’s history of extensive and innovative sports coverage, including in respect of the AFL, Olympic and Commonwealth Games competitions. 3. Part B sets out FOXTEL’s position on anti-siphoning policy issues, including problems with the current anti-siphoning regime and our view on the Government’s anti-siphoning policy announcement of November 2010—both the workable aspects, and those aspects where there is scope for improvement during implementation. 4. Part C sets out FOXTEL’s feedback on specific drafting issues with the Bill. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The anti-siphoning list has reached its used by date. It is analogue-era regulation and has been the longest such list in the world, traditionally set at over 1300 events. Over its life it has been abused by commercial free-to-air (FTA) broadcasters to either buy events and not broadcast them, buy events and not broadcast them live or buy events which they will not broadcast but seek to sell them on to our sector. The policy has hurt consumers, sporting bodies and participants in grass-roots sports.
