American sports on Grammy ASN channel

Kobkiat Sangwanich, managing director of Grammy Sport, announced that after signing a contract with ASN for live broadcast of the NFL, UFC–Ultimate Fighting, Nascar, NHL, NCAA and many other sports, Grammy Sport is now ready to broadcast to all American sports fans on the Grammy Sport-ASN channel through 1SKY-Smart STBs.
“This time, Grammy will beam their services through the C-Band [and KU-Band by January 2012]. Following huge feedback from Thai fans and foreigners interested in NFL, Grammy Sport is pleased to announce they can watch their favourite ASN channel for free during a 3-month trial starting October 8. However, in accordance with a contract that limits the broadcast territory to Thailand, viewers must use Grammy STBs. For more information, viewers can contact the 1SKY call centre at (02) 841 8888.”
Kobkiat added that Grammy Sport will live broadcast all qualifying rounds, followed by reruns in the afternoon and evening so that NFL fans don’t have to miss a single match. Then come live broadcasts of the play-offs in January followed by the Super Bowl on February 6.
“The NFL coverage is part of our ‘Grammy Sport, Anyone Can Watch’ during the first six-month launch period of the channel. We guarantee that all fans will be able to watch their favourite sports non-stop and get their money’s worth. Aside from NFL, Grammy Sport will also televise the popular mixed martial arts Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and famous Nascar auto racing. Stars of the future will also be on display in the top college-level sporting events.”
Thailand-based highlights on GMM Sport-ASN in November and December include the country’s biggest car racing events – the Bangsaen Speed Festival 2011 and Super Car Thailand. These will also be beamed to 11 other Asian countries.
