TrueVisions extends apology to subscribers
Play
TrueVisions on Saturday issued a statement to apologise to subscribers who are denied access to the Euro 2012 live broadcasting through free TV channels - 3, 5 and 9.
It said that as the free TV operators' rebroadcasting rights will give access only to those viewing through the terrestrial TV signal and antennas.
"TrueVisions is disappointed with the limitation, as this never happened to free TV viewers before. In the past, as the authorised broadcaster of English Premier League, TrueVisions has never limited the rebroadcasting on free TV channels, as that is a public channel open to all," it said in the statement.
Against the statement of GMM Z, the authorised broadcaster of Euro 2012, that said TrueVisions never started a negotiation, the cable TV network operator said that it made no action out of the understanding that free TV signals would remain free to all as in the past.
It also urged the government sector and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission to clarify this issue and set a guideline on the rebroadcasting of free TV signals.
TrueVisions added at the end that it is in the middle of negotiation with GMM Z and other parties, with the result expected early next week.
Euro 2012 started on Friday, without rebroadcasting signal from free TV channels.
