In its fourth annual report to Congress on the effect of the sports antiblackout law, the FCC said the legislation, enacted in 1973, had adversely influenced season ticket sales, as the NFL argued it would in opposing the measure four years ago. Sold Out Between 1970 and 1972, the FCC said, approximately CO per cent of all regular season home games were sold out. An below those levels which probably would have been realized had no home games been locally televised, the FCC said Assuming this esti czz mate is correct, the law to have cost the NFL approximately $1 million a year in terms of lower gate receipts, or less than one per cent of appears the league's venues. c re- - burden imposed on the clubs by the law because income statements for individual NFL teams are not available to the public.

Since "the antiblackout law was not enacted until September, 1973, the impact of local telecasts on season tickets was not felt until the 1974 season. Given that season ticket sales increased by 21 per cent between 1970 and 1973, before declining by 12 per cent since 1974, it appears that the law has adversely affected NFL game receipts.
