Channel Seven has formally launched Federal Court action against Cricket Australia in an attempt to end its $450million TV rights deal.

The network has already filed court proceedings, pointing to what they deem repeated breaches of their six-year media rights contract, which ends in 2024.

The crux of their argument relates to what Seven believes is poor quality programming for viewers.

It also follows the initiation of preliminary proceedings against Cricket Australia in the Federal Court in late 2020 relating to the same claims.

The end result from those proceedings was the Federal Court directing CA to hand over agreed documents to the TV network.
