In response to enquiries from the public regarding live television coverage of matches on SABC3, Dr Ali Bacher, Executive Director of CWC 2003, today issued the following statement:
"Live television coverage in South Africa of CWC 2003 matches is carried out through an agreement between the SABC and Supersport.
"From Day One, we at the organising committee of CWC 2003 have been absolutely consistent in our request to the SABC that they show every match live. However, the agreement between SABC and Supersport is that SABC3 televise 27 of the 52 matches.
"We at CWC 2003 are not at all happy that the SABC is televising live only five of the nine Super Six matches."
