TV coverage for World Cup

Hi guys,

If like me you were getting nervous about where you were going to watch the World Cup then worry no more. I wrote an email to 'Solar Sports' and got a favourable response. I have copied the email below and will chase them again in a couple of weeks to see if they have a final schedule.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your interest in watching our channels. You are right to assume that we have the right for the World Cup. As of now, we are still finalizing on how to show the games on our channels. There might be and extra channel to get all 64 games and we might air some on Sports Plus. But you can expect that all 64 games will be available here in the Philippines. In the meantime, we are airing several shows that are related to the world cup… we’re airing the Gillette World Cup Preview Series every tuesdays @ 10Pm starting feb 28 and the FIFA World Cup Series every friday @ 9PM. Hope you enjoy our coverage of the world cup. Have a nice day!

Best,

Oman de Sagun
Marketing Officer – Sports Plus
