144 Days . That is the exact number of days that soccer fans can still expect to wait for the outcome of the World Cup LIVE broadcasting mystery surrounding the two telecos before the first ball is kicked on Africian soil on 11 June 2010 . With latest reports that soccer fans in Singapore may not even get to experience the consolation of at least the ” supposed ” four World Cup LIVE Matches to be shown Free To Air , soccer fans may be forced to tune in to Indonesian RCTI Channel as their very resort in order not to miss out on the world’s biggest soccer fiesta Event this June ! And if it really does have to come to this , it may very well see the Indonesian RCTI Channel TV viewership figures soar to new heights for their EXCLUSIVE Coverage of the month long Event in South Africa !
It was earlier learnt that only countries or TV Channels which have successfully secured the World Cup broadcasting rights with FIFA will then be able to telecast the Opening Matches , the two SemiFinals Matches as well as the Cup Final for FREE on TV ! All this means that should either or both Starhub Cable and SingTel miotv failed to land the biggest soccer showpiece Event this Summer , Singaporeans will be totally wiped out of any LIVE World Cup Action on TV !
Even hopes of tuning in to neighbours Malaysia RTM 1 or RTM 2 TV Channels for at least these four World Cup Matches is by no means a guarantee . This is because Malaysia Cable TV Station ASTRO have secured all the broadcasting rights and that may also meant that RTM 1 & RTM 2 may not even be showing the ” supposed ” four Matches for FREE on their TV Channels !
If that’s really the case come June , don’t be very surprised to find that U are being forced to take the one and only route – that is , to watch everything or at least some of the Tournament Matches LIVE only from the Indonesian RCTI Channel ! As not everyone is able to gain access to the RCTI Channel here , it will meant a very boring and especially long Month of June this year for those without the RCTI Channel – the only TV Station that will be showing the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament for FREE !
What all these also meant that viewership for RCTI World Cup LIVE Coverage is expected to be very high and even peak into unpreccedented figures with soccer fans , not only from Indonesia alone , but as well as from Singapore tuning in to catch the LIVE World Cup Telecast !
