Australian Broadcasting Corporation.The broadcast rights for all tours are sold by the home cricket board. It is the right holder's decision to negotiate and choose where and by whom the matches will be covered.
Cricket Australia has a strong preference for all international cricket matches involving the Australian team to be available to the widest possible audience. Where possible, Cricket Australia seeks to have matches covered in their entirety by free-to-air (FTA) networks.
The Australian anti-siphoning legislation includes a process where all FTA networks are given an opportunity to acquire the broadcast rights as Test cricket matches involving the Australian team are listed as a protected event.
In the event that no FTA network acquires the rights, a pay TV network can apply to the Federal Communications Minister to have the event delisted. Cricket Australia has no role in this process.
If an FTA network chooses not to show the event, Cricket Australia would prefer pay TV coverage for Australian cricket fans than no coverage at all.
