SABC to broadcast the Cricket World Cup
Earleir this week, it looked as if majority of South Africans would miss out on the global showpieace after the two parties failed to reach a sub-licensing agreement.
On Thursday, Sport, Arts, and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa said the deal was made and SABC would broadcast all Proteas games live.
“We welcome the commitment by the SABC and Supersport to sign the sub-licensing agreement which will allow all South Africans to watch the Cricket World Cup and our very own Proteas men’s cricket team.
“The agreement may not be the best commercially for both parties, but I appreciate that in the national interest they have found a win-win solution. Once more, I call for a permanent solution on the matter of sports broadcast rights which will allow all South Africans to watch sport of national interest,” Kodwa said.
The Proteas start their World Cup on Saturday against Sri Lanka. The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport, SABC 3 and their streaming platforms sabcsport.com and SABC Plus.
