Vientiane Games to be broadcast live to six ASEAN countries

(KPL) Six ASEAN countries gathered here last week discussing satellite-broadcasting fees for the 25th SEA Games in Vientiane.
The Vientiane Games, held from 9-18 December, will be broadcast live through 14 television channels in six countries including Brunei, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the host Laos.
PAC Director Mr Khammoui Keomany, said he was looking forward to cooperating with LAO SEA Games Organising Committee (LAOSOC) and the Lao people to successfully sell the satellite transmission of the games.
Television networks having agreed in principle to broadcast the SEA Games live are Brunei Radio and Television, Lao National Radio, Lao National Television, Lao Star Channel, Forever Group (FRTB4 Myanmar), Media Corp TV Singapore, National Broadcasting Service of Thailand (NBT), TPBS, Channel 7, Channel 5, VTC Digital-Vietnam, VTV, TOT, and CAT Telecom.
Laos will use about 16 mobile broadcasting vans to cover all sports venues and will employ more than 144 people to work in production. The budget for the management of TV broadcasting is about 34 billion kip (US$4 million).
Venues include the main sports complex, indoor stadiums of the National University of Laos, the Chao-Anou football stadium, the Lao-ITECC and the Bungkha-nhong indoor stadium.
The national football stadium at Dongsanghin village in Xaythany district will be inspected and tested in June by the SEA Games Organising Committee.
