SBS Brings Australia's National Basketball League Back To Free-To-Air

Australia's National Basketball League is "continuing its revival with public broadcaster SBS bringing one game per round back to free TV," according to Alex Hayes of MUMBRELLA. Fox Sports "threw a lifeline" to the league two years ago after it was dropped by Network Ten following low ratings, and has "seen steady if not stellar audiences for Australia’s premier basketball competition." For SBS it adds to its portfolio of sports rights, "which include one match each round from the English Premier League, the Tour de France, and for the next season at least, the A-League." Under the deal, SBS will "broadcast one match each Sunday," starting with the Melbourne United vs. Adelaide 36ers match on Oct. 9 (MUMBRELLA, 9/28).
