The new changes fifa made was Charge any Media house who wants to bro the FIFA World Cup live is to pay a huge fees.
And our local media houses combined can not afford to pay the fees even if they run advertisements with businesses, they cant afford it
On the African continent, only DSTV has the exclusive rights to broadcast all the 64 matches.
In the UK, BBC has the right.
In the US, Fox Sports has the exclusive rights. What this means is that any network that would want to broadcast all the matches live must pay huge sums of money to these networks. GTV and all the local channels do not have the financial muscles to compete with DSTV or buy the remaining rights. FIFA is to blame, not GTV or any other media network when it comes to their inabilities to show all the 64 matches live.
So not all the matches that our local media houses can broadcast it.
But you can watch all of them on your DSTV
Compact.
