Adidas has weighed in with their World Cup ad…

5 June 2010

Bearing any ‘ unforeseen circumstances ‘ , local soccer fans could very well be enjoying up to 35 World Cup Matches for FREE on Malaysia’s two RTM Channels – RTM 1 & RTM 2 , with 25 LIVE Matches , and 11 DELAYED Telecast Matches .

For those who decided to give either SingTel miotv or Starhub Cable World Cup Packages a miss due to what they felt were very high subscription prices , ( currently one has to pay $94.16 to enjoy the Matches at the comfort of their own homes ) the above must have come as a piece of very good News to them indeed ! Unlike Indonesia RCTI Channel , where certain households here could gain access to the Channel ( depending on their area and level of residence ) will be showing all 64 Matches LIVE from South Africa , Malaysia’s two FREE to Air TV Channels RTM 1 & 2 will only be showing slightly more than half that number with a mixture of LIVE & Delayed Telecast Matches for the greatest soccer Event of this year .

Malaysia RTM 1 & 2 have been showing LIVE & Delayed Matches for almost every Edition of the FIFA World Cup , and this year , which is into the Tournament’s 19th Edition is no exception either . Most of the LIVE Matches will be shown on RTM 1 at 10pm , with some Group Stages & Knockout Stages LIVE Matches to be shown at the 2.30am Timeslot too , as well as a couple of early 7.30pm LIVE Matches on RTM 2 .

For those who miss the previous night’s LIVE or Delayed Telecast Matches , u can catch up on a half an hour Highlights Show , Every Morning at 7am on RTM 2 Beginning 12 June 2010 onwards .
