New broadcast model for Football Australia

I see it slightly differently. Not distancing themselves out of spite, rather just trying to be the best competition they can be and not blindly following or pandering to APL. I think FA are really barracking for A-League to do well. And they also really want the Championship to be professional and push for connection to A-League eventually.
 
I'm the only one getting vibes that this will be a glorified NPL TV 2?

It's great that we will have a centralised hub for everything non-A-Leagues/Socceroos/Matildas.

But the stressing of scalable production also makes me wonder how many productions will be substantial.
I think it will be an improvement on the current YouTube production.

It feels a bit like the FA aren't resting on their hands. They're doing what they can for what they're responsible for. Also, if in the future the AL's finds its way back with the FA then a lot of ground work will have been done on a better broadcasting set-up - in terms of getting the product accessible for people. I'm interested in watching the NPL clubs.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Stephen Conroy appointed CEO of APL whilst remaining chair of FA?
Given that the APL would have a broadcast contract in place, why would the FA interfere with legal obligations?

The chair of FA is Anter Isaac.

any decent leading body/FA etc that does their job properly never rest on their hands, trouble is we've had 2 that never cared for the whole of football 2nd level to grassroots.
Thats their job period, thank christ there is someone who does see right down the bottom and knows a healthy and synced eco system is the light at the end of the long tunnel and what they are RESPONSIBLE for.
Nothing lasts and is short term when only the board and high management ie AL is the only vision, without the roots and foundations the top struggle to survive pretty obvious.

100% agree. I hope we get there.
 
NPLtv been tanked all gone to YT, each Fed, which is actually ok but only the invested go there like us few here.
I’ve seen some of the NSW NPL matches this season via YouTube I don’t think the quality has been the best, if they improve the quality of broadcasting especially with the NPL Championship those 1 percenters make a big difference to the viewer.

Yeah quite possibly .... depends on what the production looks like ... anything would be better than the single camera youtube broadcasts currently.
 
So basically it will be the single camera at the ground still however it will upload to a centralised studio who will do the production ( replays, graphics, branding, advertising ). It's basically NPL.TV except slicker I imagine.

These are the companies that may be involved so looking at their websites you can see how this is going to work.


The FA media release had so much corporate dribble I fell asleep.

They talk about multi-camera though?? And automated highlights which we down south at least ahve been missing .. its not Optus sports mate but could be better than what we have at the moment?


LIGR, an Australian technology business recently acquired by European-based technology company Crionet, will provide technical broadcast management, live monitoring and end-to-end operational services across Football Australia’s multi-camera and single camera productions, including the integration of automated (AI) camera workflows at selected venues. Meanwhile, LIGR’s world-leading streaming, graphics and highlights automation platform will enable Football Australia, Member Federations and clubs to seamlessly integrate key sponsors and commercialise their broadcasts effectively.
 
Hope so. Broadcasting is an expensive business. Seen those OB trucks out the front of grounds? The gear in that ensure a certain "slickness" of production.

I will take the NPL commentators over any A League one however. If the FA are going through with this could be some good opportunities for those guys.
