Cricket Australia pulls plug on Ten
By Jon Pierik
January 2, 2006

CHANNEL 10 has been banned from entering international cricket venues in Australia this summer.

The decision came after the network aired footage of the animated chat between rival captains Ricky Ponting and Graeme Smith after the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Ponting and Smith were filmed having a heated discussion in the players' tunnel at the ground just minutes after Australia had won the Test.

The Australia captain approached Smith on Friday to ensure there were no hard feelings about Shane Warne's "John Blackman" gibe at injured Proteas paceman Makhaya Ntini.

As a non-rights holder, Ten was not allowed to film in the area and has had its accreditation revoked until senior management find out why the footage went to air, even though Cricket Australia warned the network it would be in breach of contract if it did so.

CA public affairs manager Peter Young said the game's governing body had to do its upmost to protect its long-time television broadcaster, Channel 9.

"Channel 9 has paid good money for the exclusive rights to film inside international cricket venues," Young said.

"When other media enter the ground we accredit them and they sign effectively a contract which spells out terms and conditions for entry to the venue.

"The terms and conditions would include a condition there is no filming whatsoever within the venue, except in the room where we hold the press conference.

Ten was warned that it would be breaching exclusivity rights if they broadcast the footage. Its no different to Sevens attitude during the 2000 Olympics, when other networks weren't even allowed outside some stadia.
Its the reason why a network buys the rights.
As much as I would have liked to have seen the footage, I have no sympathy for Ten. They knew the deal, ignored it, and now have to suffer the consequences.

It's got nothing to do with that.

Channel 10 are not the rights holder, simple as that.
