Medeama SC in Kumasi on January 15 2012 will not be telecast as
originally scheduled.
The match was originally scheduled to be broadcast live on Supersport
from 6pm on January 15.
This development came about after a meeting between the Premier League
Board and Optimum Media Prime, television rights holders of the Glo
Premier League.
It will be recalled that after the Glo Premier League match between
Asante Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea, OMP commentator Nana Agyemang came
under a near attack from angry supporters and broadcast equipment
belonging to OMP was damaged.
This led OMP top officials to threaten to black out the coverage of
Asante Kotoko games in Kumasi unless cast iron guarantees over the
safety of personnel and equipment are given.
Currently, the Ghana Football Association is awaiting the details of
the cost of damage to the equipment from OMP before the matter will be
referred to the Disciplinary Committee.
OMP thus requested not to televise the Asante Kotoko-Medeama match and
the PLB approved the request.
The televised schedule for weeks 13 to 15 are now as follows.
