Last year Fox announced they where broadcasting A-League highlights packages to 110 countries. More recently I read that the A-League was broadcast live to New Zealand, PNG, Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore.
The Grand Final according to SBS was broadcast to maybe 79 million households http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/a-league/news/977842/Grand-final-goes-global across Asia.
Socceroo internationals are gaining a following around Asia.
All which got me thinking How much is the overseas media deal worth
If countries take an hour highlights show for 31 weeks.. I assume this is on pay and replayed several times a week. At $ 100.00 per show (assume shown 5 times) that is $ 500.00 per week or $ 15, 500.00 per year.
This is where the figures get interesting.. 110 countries at $ 15, 500.00 per country is a whopping $ 17, 050, 000.
Games are broadcast live into to New Zealand, PNG, Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore. Meaning broadcasting to an audience approaching 300 million how many watch who knows but one yes one percent is 3 million or just under the audience of the NRL & AFL grand finals.
This must be worth something, add the Socceroo games i.e. Australia V Japan in Australia is broadcast across Asiahow much countries pay again I have no idea.
Summary A-League Highlights are shown in 110 countries, to countries with combined populations of 300 million who take the A-League live, the Socceroos are watched across Asia, what is all this worth .
I have no idea what its worth but a mate who is a former employee of Fox told me it was big bucks, but gave no indication what big bucks was...
