Majority of users of Multimedia’s Multi TV could be
disappointed as the media giant failed to secure the Brazil 2014 FIFA world cup
viewing rights t which could have enabled its viewers enjoy the matches on
their decoders.
There are a number of areas in the country where getting good
signals of stations such as Ghana Television (GTV) and others showing the
matches is very difficult. So, an option,
perhaps the only way some people might get to watch these memorable matches live
and in crystal clear pictures is on Multi-TV.
Unfortunately, some viewers in such situation have to watch
the matches at friends’ places who use DSTV or get clear pictures of stations
viewing the matches because such stations on the Multi-TV “Digi-boxes” are off.
Many are the people in some parts of Weija in Accra I spoke
with were really disappointed in the Multimedia group for failing to view the
matches on their Joy Sports channel. Yesterday for instance, a caller vented
his spleen concerning this issue during the hottest sports show, “Fire for
Fire” on Adom TV and he was immediately taken off.
Another TV on the Multi-TV decoder, Kesben TV also telecast
about four matches and stopped after they had informed the audience they were
doing all they can to show “all” matches live.
What I seek to put across is that, Multi-TV should have
prioritized telecasting the world cup matches before thinking of sending their
contingents to Brazil. For instance, two days after the Black Stars have lost
their opening match to the United States, Joy Sports and Joy News showed a
preview of the match and how fans were preparing for the big game (I stand for
correction). So far as we lost, a preview for that particular game at that time
may not do us any good.
This piece is not meant to ridicule anyone or any
organization but to put forward what some people feel in their disappointment
for not getting the world cup matches to watch on their Muti-TV decoder.
