Minimalis said:IDA should stop this monopoly by SCV.
For the consumers, I think for news programmes, clips are not too much to ask. Two issues: First, SCV's monopolistic situation. I wonder how the much anticipated anti-competition legistration will change anything.hwchoy said:SCV has exclusive rights of Euro 2004, the broadcasters are at the mercy of the rights owner in terms of what they can and cannot show. Without knowing their rights agreement it would not be fair to give them labels.
ps: I don't work for any of these broadcasters but in a somewhat related industry.
hwchoy said:again I do not work for SCV or any of the broadcaster. I would however like to point out that sports on TV, like any other programming, is a commercial affair, not national education. SCV paid a horribly large sum of moola to obtain the rights, you think they're just going to broadcast it free to air? They're not a charity nor government funded. They are funded by those who paid a premium subscription (which incidentally I do not) for the privilege of watching such premium programs.
You could go to your neighbourhood kopitiam with a super sports channel subscription.

Second. I watch them live on Malaysian's TV3 or Indonesian channel, free-to-air too.
