The Australian Government’s May 2017 Budget may include broadcasting licence fee relief for free-to-air TV networks. Options that are said to be under consideration include abolishing the existing revenue-based licence fee or replacing it with a flat fee. The licence fee reforms are intended to offset the impact of a proposed ban on gambling advertisements during live sports broadcasts. The anti-siphoning list may also be revised to compensate pay-TV groups for the loss of gambling ad revenue.
