Btv Negotiates Soccer Broadcasting Deal

DBS spokesman Simon Seisa said although the negotiations have taken long, there is hope that the Premier League matches will be aired live on the state-owned TV.
 
He was reacting to criticism that Btv is  showing the more expensive African Cup of Nations games yet it has failed to broadcast Premier League matches. 

But Seisa stated that they have wide audience that is difficult to satisfy. He said that even if they had been able to broadcast the Mascom Premier League games and failed to get the rights for AFCON, some people would still complain. He refuted allegations that they always start negotiating the rights to broadcast the games late. "We always start early but it takes longer to reach agreements," he said.
