Info for Footy Fans
International Television Guide for 2003
Important Note: We continue to update this information for 2003. If you live in one of the countries below and can provide us more accurate information please e-mail us. We do know the following: The international rights to Australian football are now held by News Ltd. and distribution is being handled by FOX Sports International from their London and Los Angeles syndication offices. We believe this means it is very likely that News Ltd related companies will be the probable outlets everywhere outside Australia (e.g. FOX Sports World affiliates, Sky Sports, Star Sports, etc.)
