We will change broadcasting in South Africa: Siyaya TV

Oka cool I thought its gona be called mallema Tv but siyaya tv is not bad
 
How exactly will that change broadcasting in SA?

All they'll be doing is broadcasting a channel (or few)
 
It could be a winning deal but they forgot a critical part.

They don't have a winning team. :rolleyes:
 
Starting off by acquiring the rights to local soccer is not a winning recipe.
 
“When the current contract with SABC ends, the deal with Siyaya will begin. The SABC contract ends at the end of April 2015

Is all the Bafana stuff currently free on SABC? Just realised that what everyone was previously getting for free, they'll now have to pay for. While I'm all for Siyaya doing well and taking on DSTV, this isn't a nice way to start, might be consumer backlash!
 
Never watched a game before and I wont start now.
Does not matter who broadcasts it.
So wait for a year and will probably end up like TOP TV.
 
Good luck to them. I sincerely hope that they will make it and in the process broaden the landscape.
 
LOL, I think they over paid by at least R999 999 990. Who wants to watch this poor excuse of a national team play anybody?
 
SABC, Safa to hold fresh talks

The SABC and Safa are to start fresh talks on the broadcast rights for the National Soccer Games.

The Public Broadcaster and the football association met Monday following reports that the public broadcaster had lost rights to broadcasting live Bafana Bafana matches to Siyaya TV.

SABC spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago says Safa has denied the media reports.

SABC chief operating officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng says the SABC has a wide outreach.

"It is only the SABC who reach more than 26 million daily, so it is important that we as the SABC make sure those rights are within the SABC.”

“We are going to compete with other broadcasters but our view is that those sports of national interest should be broadcast on SABC platform," Motsoeneng adds.
