Showtime back in the sports game
August 19th, 2006 Zeid Nasser (Admin)
Ever since pay-TV network Showtime lost the rights to broadcast the English Premier League to ART some four years ago, the network lost its position in the sports programming race and its sports package was not a hot item anymore, only offering Serie A through Abu Dhabi sports.
Well, now it seems Showtime has wised up and partnered with Al Jazeera Sports who have the rights to the Spanish Primera, Portuguese Superliga, English FA Cup and other European football competitions.
So, now Showtime subscribers have got 6 sports channels (Sportsnet World, Sportsnet America, Extreme Sports, Eurosport News and Al Jazeera Sports +1 and +2)
Accordingly, advertisers on Al Jazeera’s sports channels will get more exposure across another pay-TV network.

Since Orbit channels moved to Eurobird 2 satellite last year , ALL viewers in Sudan were disconned suddenly due to the weak signal of the new satellite , leaving thousands of subcribers disconnected and did not compensate anyone for the subcription fees nor the decoder security deposit amount. It is very unfair and not expected from a respectable company like Orbit
