ASGA JOINS FIGHT TO SAVE SPORTS COVERAGE

ASGA has added its support to keep sport on the ABC.

ASGA has added its support to two campaigns.

The first is a campaign in South Australia to keep local SANFL telecasts on the ABC.

The national broadcaster, the ABC, have forshadowed reducing or cutting telecasts of the South Australian National Football League. ASGA has swung its support behind the campaign to keep local footy coverage, fearing that the ABC might cut telecasts in other states and reduce the free to air coverage of other sports as well.
