IMG AMONG THE WINNERS FOR 'NET RIGHTS OF AUSSIE RULES CLUBS

9.13.2000

          Australian Football League (AFL) clubs "have won access
     to potentially" US$279-558M in revenue over ten years after
     "securing a major victory in their battle" over Internet
     rights with the AFL "hierarchy," according to Katherine
     Towers of the AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW.  A new deal with
     the league gives all 16 clubs Internet rights and the
     ability to broadcast matches live through their Web sites. 
     The deal represents a "victory" for IMG and other companies
     that have "recently secured the right to manage" a club's
     Internet services.  Meanwhile, Flowers wrote the AFL's
     "lucrative" TV rights would be protected with the clubs
     "agreeing to not jeopardise" free or pay-TV telecasts by
     broadcasting against them (AUS. FINANCIAL REVIEW, 9/13).
