For those of u who are asking the reason behind the cancellation of the LIVE broadcast of Malaysia vs Arsenal match, I want u guys to try figure this:
1) Malaysia vs Arsenal > delayed (Weekday 8.45 pm)
2) Malaysia vs Liverpool > LIVE (Weekend) 5.45 pm)
3) Malaysia vs Chelsea > LIVE (Weekday 8.45 pm)
Now..to be fair to Astro, they have listed on their website that the Malaysia vs Arsenal game as on delay 24 hours before the match..it was listed as being LIVE on their guide programme listings though up until a few hours before the match..however on their website, they have also listed the other 2 games as LIVE..check it out here..
http://www.astro.com.my/content_epg/articles/art_1934.htmlSo I still dont see any difference why Astro are showing Liverpool and Chelsea but not Arsenal..whats the difference? Surely it has nothing to do with Arsenal wearing Nike and the other 2 wearing adidas..surely not?
To say Arsenal's match is on a weekday, Chelsea's match is also on a weekday..if ever they wanted fans to go to the stadium, surely it had to be on the Saturday for Malaysia vs Liverpool..if they do not show it so people go to the stadium, I can understand why..
Why would Astro not show a big match like Malaysia vs Arsenal when they can broadcast Lebanon vs Malaysia all the way from the middle-East regardless of how they got their feed..I see no benefit for Astro not showing the match unless Pro-Event mangement (match organisers) did not give permission or they paid Astro sooo much money not to show the match..
So whats the reason? Im still wondering why..
