Flamengo across Brazil on pay TV
Sky CEO guarantees: fans who have Sky or Sportv will watch the game
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - in
Cross-broadcasting across Brazil. This is how Sportv and Sky, the satellite broadcaster, will operate this Wednesday night for Flamengo's Copa Libertadores debut, said Luiz Eduardo Baptista da Rocha, Sky's CEO (Chief Engineer Operations), in an exclusive interview with the club's official website.
In practice, this means that where Rede Globo doesn't broadcast the game, NET or Sportv will open an alternative channel. "Everything is fine. NET or Sky subscribers can surf the internet and find the Flamengo or Corinthians game on an alternative channel. There will be crossover throughout Brazil," Baptista da Rocha said by phone.
The decision was made early in the afternoon and agreed with those responsible for the Sportv and Sky programming schedule.
The broadcasters that retransmit TV Globo have autonomy to define their programming.
Luiz Eduardo Baptista da Rocha also said that it hasn't been decided whether the procedure will be adopted in future games. "I tend to believe it would be a natural trend, but I can't guarantee it yet."
