I've been searching for the answer to this annoying deal but haven't found it. Anyone know? Why is FSC not showing video of WC highlights? The still photos are lame. Why would they do this?
It probably has something to do with ESPN-ABC having the rights to the World Cup. I have seen this before when the Network or their parent network does not have the rights to a major sporting event
In HK, we have to endure this on evening news because the owner of the boardcasting rights refused to share or the other channels refused to pay. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXllKkSK6tA"]YouTube- ??????? World Cup Highlight on Hong Kong TV[/ame]
I kind of like the still photos. The expressions on the players' and managers' faces really come out well
Simple - Uncle Rupert never has anything to do with the World Cup, so his networks pretend it doesn't exist.
