Free to Air TV in Australia

There are more than two-dozen Free to Air channels in Australia (also known as Free View) including the five major channels presented below, ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine and Ten. The content found on Free to Air TV, whether it be a key sporting event such as the Women’s AFL or a popular television series, are either developed in-house, contracted through a partnership with their regional affiliate, or purchased through an open bidding process with competing carriers for the program’s broadcast rights.

AFL 2021 on Free to Air TV

The AFL season is now underway with the women’s competition back for a fifth edition. Last year’s tournament was halted mid-season due to the coronavirus outbreak, meaning that Adelaide is still reigning champions after claiming their second title in 2019.

Three games of each round will be broadcast on the Seven Network via their sister channel, 7Mate. The competition began on Thursday, January 28th, with games taking place every weekend right up until the final on Saturday, April 18h.

When: Jan 28th – Apr 18th, 2021 (Sydney time)

Seven

Channel 7 is a leading provider of free to air sports and TV entertainment in Australia, and no better example is their stellar coverage on AFL and BBL cricket. With a big summer of cricket just around the corner, Seven is defiantly the place to be.

ABC

Australia’s revered Free to Air Broadcaster has, for decades, brought both entertainment and fiercely independent news & current affairs to the entire nation, from capital cities to the smallest outback towns. Making the most of its often limited funds, the ABC has long been one of the most trusted institutions in the country.

Ten

Ten’s audience has broadened and its programming has expanded to match it, with Masterchef Australia drawing in millions of viewers as their flagship production. They also have the rights to some of Australia’s most popular sports, such as V8 Supercars, International Rugby and MotoGP.

Nine

Known as the pioneer of live entertainment in Australia, Nine spent decades as the most popular TV network in the country. The Nine Network of today has high-budget shows such as Ninja Warrior Australia and Married At First Sight sharing space with huge live-to-air hits like the NRL premiership,  60 Minutes and A Current Affair.

SBS

Arriving in 1980, SBS started life as a government-funded alternative public broadcaster with a brief to provide programming for Australia’s large and ever-expanding multicultural population. In recent years it’s expanded on that original concept, and while they still provide a vast array of programs and news services in various languages, SBS places a strong emphasis on entertainment as well.

10 All Access

Launched in partnership with CBS in the US, 10 All Access mobile streaming is Network Ten’s online service that features all the best shows from 10 and CBS delivered live and on demand. This lineup includes hit TV series such as The Bachelor, Survivor and NCIS, plus late night shows and live news that you can catch commercial-free. Not only can you stream classic favourites, but you can also watch new releases even before they hit free to air. You can kick things off with a free trial to check it out, and then proceed to cancel anytime.
