I have Starhub CableTV but no Sports package.. Although I will be watching only very few matches, We subscribe it so that anytime that I feel like watchin can watch
And also because they offer all matches Live, Last night.. I wanted to watch Australia play Croatia instead of Brazil against Japan because I know Japan sure out. But guess what? It's only shown on Channel 22. In order to watch that match, I have to subscribe the whole sports package for 3 months at the cost of $15.75 per month which means a good $45
Add it with my WC coverage of $25, Thats a total of $70!
StarHub Brings World Cup Fever to Singapore
· All 64 World Cup matches available on four dedicated channels as a Pay-Per-View package
· Extensive World Cup content across cable, mobile and online platforms will take viewers to the heart of the action
Singapore, 27 March 2006 – StarHub, the official broadcaster of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™, is proud to bring viewers all the colourful and spectacular moments of the world’s favourite game ‘live’ from Germany. Fans can immerse themselves in the World Cup action through ‘live’ matches and exclusive programmes via StarHub Digital Cable, and also gain instant access to the latest World Cup highlights via StarHub’s mobile and online platforms.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ will kick off in Munich, with host Germany taking on Costa Rica in the opening match on 10 June 2006. Watch Germany's Player of the Year Michael Ballack in possibly one of his last appearances in front of his home fans at Munich’s Allianz Arena. Having scored the winning goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™, the Bayern Munich midfielder will be expected to carry Germany to the finals again.
With StarHubÂ’s new World Cup PlayerCam channels (StarHub Channels 110 and 111), football fans in Singapore will be able to join the 66,000-strong crowd at Allianz Arena in tracking the performance of key players like Ballack. The World Cup PlayerCam channels offer dedicated coverage of players from both teams, and will take viewers even closer to their favourite football stars as the drama of the World Cup unfolds.
Ms Tham Loke Kheng, Senior Vice President for Marketing and Content at StarHub enthused, “We want to bring our local audiences to the heart of the sporting action in Germany, and to do so, we have lined up exclusive programming built around the games. No longer is the World Cup just about the ‘live’ telecast of the matches.”
“Interviews with the coaches and key players will proffer insights. Press conferences will throw up new revelations. Match analyses will dissect crucial moments of the game, while extended stadium material and additional ‘Player’ and ‘Tactical’ feeds will certainly lend an added dimension to the games. This is the immersive World Cup experience that StarHub Digital Cable has to offer,” said Ms Tham.
