no more Serie A on SCV? (7 Viewers)
- Thread starter MikagaMi
- Start date
Yet another pointless reply from StarHub in the ST online forum:
http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/forum/story/0,5562,341219,00.html?
So they dedicated two lines to talking about Serie A and the rest of the letter to talking about StarHub Digital Cable?! I don't know how to get through to them anymore - they're just totally missing the point. :fero:
And if they are "considering" pay-per-view options, it still wouldn't be for this season, right?

YOU GUYS!!!! I have some GREAT news!!! 
Cut the long story short - a media rights owner emailed me (got my add from the petition) and said he's given the rights for Serie A to MediaCorp this year for free. It's for a small teams more than big ones, but anyways, I was a bit nervous it was a scam but a few checks with some Italian friends assured me it was a genuine company... I sent that email to TNP to ask them to help me check with MediaCorp is this is true and this is what I got from Ernest Luis just an hour ago!!!! I reckon he'll cover this story in the next day or two.
Hi Farah,
U don't by any chance know a Sharon Tan? She sent an email fm a Farah too...
Anyway, Channel 5 confirmed it's true.
But they hv only rights to "smaller teams'" home games.
Like Sunday's Treviso v Milan, Cagliari v Roma.
For the giants' home games, no access.
Also, no access to giant v giant like Juve v Inter etc.
Channel 5 can only show delayed telecast ard midnight Sunday because live timings clash with News at 9.30pm. They can show up to one or two matches a week. Midweek better chance of live though, after midnight.
Still, something better than nothing.
I'm asking StarHub what progress they making and if they will discount part of subscription fees if this cannot be solved.
Cheers,
Ernest
It's a start, eh? I'm soooooo happy!!!!!!!!!! :bravo:

Read ur PM Farah
Yeaa well, win some, lose some I suppose. :down: I was terribly disappointed about last year as well but hey, I'd rather have have a chance to see Juve a few times this year than have to live on streaming all the time!
Not that the Delle Alpi is a great stadium to watch on TV anyway... :hide:
I see this as a temporary solution. The season's started and StarHub has offered us no hope anymore :groan: so hey, this is better than nothing.
I have, but I have a long response myself and I've been swamped with work (and correspondence about this Serie A thing ) so give me a couple days - I will reply soon.
Good news is Juve hasn't played too many of the minnows that MediaGroup owns rights to as yet. So we will see Juve more often that we'd initially expected, I reckon!
Ernest Luis is covering a story in The New Paper today (21 Sep) - go get your copy. I'm not sure too exactly what he's going to say but I reckon he has viewpoints from all perspectives - StarHub, MediaGroup and MediaCorp, so it'll be good.
