The Football Association suffered a £34m hit in income from broadcast rights last season, the governing body's annual report reveals. The FA saw its income drop from £327m in 2011-12 to £299m in the 2012-13 period, but still made a £28m operating profit and was able to increase the amount it puts back into football by £11m to £108m.
The biggest fall in revenues was from broadcast income, a result of the hangover from the collapsed Setanta deal back in 2009. The FA was forced to agree a short-term two-year deal with ITV for England matches and the FA Cup ending in July this year.
