AUSTRALIA; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING AUTHORITY; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA; BROADCASTING RIGHTS. AUSTRALIA; BROADCASTING. AUSTRALIA; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA; LICENSING LAWS. AUSTRALIA; SPORT AND TV. AUSTRALIA; SPORT ON TV. AUSTRALIA Summary: "This guide provides an overview of anti-siphoning provisions contained in the [Broadcasting Services] Act and outlines a number of issues which have arisen since the anti-siphoning list came into force. The Act sets out the rules that are designed to prevent 'siphoning' of certain programs broadcast on national and commercial television (free-to-air television) and gives particular powers to the ABA and to the Minister in relation to the operation of these rules. Siphoning means the obtaining by a pay TV licensee of the exclusive rights (i.e. both free-to-air and pay TV rights) to broadcast an event (or events), such that those events could not be received on free-to-air television and would only be available to subscribers of the pay TV service. Without fettering the Minister's discretion to exercise his powers, this guide indicates how the ABA will approach certain situations. The ABA hopes this will provide guidance to parties wishing to negotiate rights to events that may be broadcast on Australian free-to-air or pay-tv services." - Introduction Contents: Definitions -- Development of guidelines -- Introduction -- Anti-siphoning provisions -- Role of the ABA -- Role of the minister -- Limitations of anti-siphoning list in the case of newly created events -- Other issues arising from the operation of the anti-siphoning list -- Attachements: anti-siphoning list and amendments; extracts Broadcasting Services Act 1992; Directions to the ABA; Consideration of terms and phrases contained in section 115 examples More info
