Football fans might not be able to watch their favourite team this weekend after TV company collapses

The A-League is in crisis after the television company that produces its live broadcasts has gone into administration.

Global Advance, the production company that provides live streams for Channel 10 and Paramount+, went bankrupt and an administrator was appointed on Wednesday.

Late night talks are currently taking place about how the broadcasts of this weekend’s games will be saved.

Adam Hoskins, director of television at Fox Sports, tweeted on Wednesday: “The company they (the A-League) pay to produce their match broadcast has gone bankrupt.”

‘Closed doors. “I feel sorry for all your staff who are now in a world of hurt.”

A Reddit user claiming to be a Global Advance freelancer posted on the forum: ‘I just got confirmation that this is true and all of us freelancers have been left out.

“At the moment, the A-League will have no production this weekend.”

NEC, another production company, is believed to be in talks with the A-League to produce live broadcasts of the games. At the time of publication, matches are still scheduled to be played.

Global Advance was founded in 2019 by partners Chris McMillan and Ian Hogg.

In an interview with Mediaweek in 2022, Hogg outlined his vision for the company.

“GA is here to stay, our investment will change significantly over the next twelve months as we increase our market share,” he said.

“We don’t need to be the biggest, but we certainly want to be the best.”
