Ruling on live broadcast of all World Cup matches known Wednesday

6-10-2014-9-15-43-PM-wpcf_728x396.jpg

BANGKOK: -- The Supreme Administrative Court will on Wednesday hand down its verdict on the dispute between RS Plc, Thailand’s second largest entertainment media company, and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC), the national regulator, over the airing of all 64 matches of the World Cup 2014 on free TVs.

NBTC appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court when the Central Administrative Court ruled in favor of RS to air only 22 World Cup matches from the total 64 matches, arguing that RS violates its must-have rule, which stipulates seven sporting competitions, including the FIFA World Cup, which required to be broadcast via free-TVs.

RS is the right holder of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The Supreme Court will hand down the verdict tomorrow after hearing testimonies Tuesday from both the NBTC and RS.

Meanwhile RS chief operating officer Pornpan Tejrungchaikul said if RS loses the court case, it might choose to stop airing all the World Cup matches because it could risk violating its agreement with FIFA.

All the signs of another fiasco in the making like the Euros one in 2012....

Exactly and if all the stupidity and pettiness gets sorted out and the games are shown, for me on TRUE, I'm expecting there will be no English commentary.

I just can't listen to thai commentators with all the " Oh Ho " and " Supa Save ".
