Multichoice is the company that runs DSTV (Super Sport) here in Nigeria. English Premier League The EPL has devided the rights to their matches into three regions in Africa: Nigeria, South Africa and Rest of Africa Further they made another breack down into three packages: A: 80% of the games B: 20% of the games C: 10% of the games Super Sport was successful in bidding for the B package for Nigeria and Rest of Africa Super Sport bid 400% more than last year but was only able to obtain the B package. My guess is that most users in Thailand get their feed from South Africa. No mention was made if for South Africa they were able to get package A. But then, why is there no 100% (all games) package for Africa? Should there be further news from "down here" will keep you posted. The following was published in the Punch Nigeria by Multichoice.

Movie magic, Super Sports the works. I reside in Nigeria and rumor has it that SS has lost the rights to the premier league. That could affect Nigeria only. Have not paid my subscription in two months as my landlord is not running the generator, still got DVD (when there is light):-( Last trip to Thailand I felt right at home when I turned on the TV at the Hotel.
