Cash-strapped SABC won't broadcast Rugby World Cup on TV or radio

[JustAsk]

Great for the SABC, bad for Dstv. The second time, with the CWC, sabc opted not to co-fund the cost of dstv exclusive deals.

They are building the case for non-exclusivity of sport of national interest.

I have a company VPN (Cisco) but the closest site I can get to in EU is Germany, which will probably not work?

Nope.

So much for showing off our wonderful diversity in sport.
Then again, you could argue that this no-show is in fact showing off our diversity.

Cash strapped indeed.

Digital migration. RSA = R10 billion Rand + 10 years. Process stopped.

Digital migration. Mozambique = 18 months.


Retardation.

Monochoice and SARU are partially to blame for this.

Even giving the Rugby footage to SABC even a few days delayed could only benefit Rugby and grow support. They are making their own pie smaller.

Wtf would Monochoice hog the radio rights?

I know it's fashionable to blame multichoice for the sabc failures but they have nothing to do with the radio rights, that's with IMG.

"Intellectual lecture" and his cabal

?who are they and are they going to broadcast the games on radio?

They're a licensing company involved with RWC2019. They don't broadcast but manage & license brands from what I can tell, if you wanna broadcast games on radio that's still associated with the rwc2019 brand and for that association you have to pay from what I can tell.
