BREAKING. Balls up! M-Net delays broadcast of League of Glory; must reshoot scenes because of a soccer ball.


You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively reveal first that M-Net's new soccer drama League of Glory that was supposed to start on 28 April has been moved out by a week because of a massive ball's up which now requires reshoots by the production.

M-Net isn't offering up any explanations, but League of Glory that was supposed to start on 28 April has now suddenly and without warning been moved to Wednesday, 5 May at 19:30. But I can tell you why although M-Net won't. The production it seems used soccer balls it doesn't have the rights for. It has to do with FIFA and the 2010 Soccer World Cup and soccer balls and reshoots, two different sources not connected to M-Net just told me. More on the big ball's up tomorrow and hopefully some comment from the pay broadcaster on this ball buster.
