I'm fairly sure Foxtel are covering every single game past the RO32 already.
I would hazard a guess this new announcement may have something to do with SBS getting more than just the Friday night games for the HAL season.

OK
I agree that having more than the 1 week of matches televised would have been ideal. But I'd say you could wipe at least 500 off the attendance figure for Jets v Glory if it had been live on Foxtel, perhaps even more if on FTAOriginally Posted by sammydog
I'd prefer in the round of 32 they show some of the state league clubs anyway.
Last nights WSW v Adelaide Utd game would have been a good one on TV as well.
Just read this on twitter, only thing I have heard about the game so far.
johnnyddavidson: Am hearing the @NewcastleJetsFC vs Juventus game was interesting, Juve 1-0 but a Jets goal disallowed... @FourFourTwoOz #football #aleague
Match finished 1-1. A horses mouth.
We have been saved.
We barely look like scoring against perth but we manage to score against ****ing juve... Go figure!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
No goal......juve weren't ready.
Foot in mouth. Carney goal diss allowed after 15min.
We have been saved.
Barresi suffered a suspected torn ACL. Fingers crossed reports are wrong. Was really looking forward to seeing him play!!
Yeah fingers crossed he's ok. Will probably pave the way for baccus or another mid to sign now
Not big at all. SBS broadcasting it on SBS One instead of SBS 2 next season.
Woop.

*edit*
Apparently that is a big thing because of the number of people who don't use digital channels so only have access to SBS One.

It does mean broadcast in HD and I found out with the world cup what a huge difference that is!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
It was HD last year... simulcast on SBS 2 and SBS HD.

As I said in the edit, think the change just means that their potential audience increases a huge amount due to the number of people not watching new digital channels (which both SBS2 and HD are).
So other than Gypos who couldn't afford a TV anyway who doesn't have digital TV??
Thought they would have just about turned the analogue off these days.
We are 100% digital these days, I think...
jeez, here I was waiting on the edge of my seat for this earth-shattering news.

Interesting to see if that has any impact going forward with HAL rights, would be great if you could just subscribe to BeIN online to get HD HAL coverage.Setanta Sports Australia set to be sold to Al Jazeera
The Irish company that owns Setanta Sports Australia has reached an agreement to sell it to the beIN Media Group, a subsidiary of the Qatari state-owned television network Al Jazeera.
Setanta yesterday said it is in the final stages of the acquisition but it did not disclose any financial details of the deal. The sale is subject to the approval of Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board, with authorisation expected in about one month’s time.
The Australian arm of the sports network is being sold by Dublin-based Danu Investment Partners, backed by Michael O’Rourke and Leonard Ryan, the original founders of Setanta, and Mark O’Meara.
The channel will be rebranded as beIN once approval comes through, and it is expected that the network, which has operations across the Middle East, as well as Canada and France, will beef up its content offering.
It is understood that beIN approached Danu last year to initiate discussions about the possibility of acquiring the Australian channel. Danu was formed in 2009 to implement a rescue deal for Setanta Sports Ireland after the channel collapsed in the UK that year.
In conjunction with the South African black-empowerment investment group, Hosken Consolidated Investments, Danu also owns Setanta Sports Asia. SSA is available on television platforms in countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, and the Philippines.
Mr O’Rourke retains 100 per cent ownership of Setanta Sports Ireland, having bought out Mr Ryan and Mr O’Meara’s interests in 2011.
Setanta Sports Australia was founded in 2005 as a pub-only service, migrating to a consumer platform two years later. It broadcasts a wide range of sports including international football and rugby, with the UEFA Europa League and the RBS Six Nations among its portfolio.
The company says is available to 2.5 million Australian subscription viewers via Foxtel as well as through distribution via fetchTV and online.
“We believe this is a win for our loyal customers in Australia, who will share in beIN Sports commitment to producing sports coverage of the highest quality,” said Mr Ryan.
Yousef Al-Obaidli, beIN’s deputy chief executive said: “We are very happy to take our beIN Sports brand to yet another admirable market. Australians are very passionate about sports and we are proud to fulfill this passion and provide them with a unique experience.”
