In what should be cheery news to millions of its subscribers, Multichoice, owners of Digital Satellite Television (DStv) have concluded arrangements to broadcast the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Cote d’Ivoire 20223 on its sporting channel, SuperSport.
Earlier, the company reportedly said it would not transmit the tournament ‘because the channel has not secured the rights to broadcast the tournament.’
But a credible source has now hinted that SuperSport will indeed show AFCON 2023 games starting from Saturday’s opener between hosts Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea Bissau.
According to the source privy to the arrangements, SuperSport rights are non-exclusive and will therefore be available on most bouquets on DSTV and GOtv.
