SuperSport just announced that it will be broadcasting the Commonwealth Games across four TV channels.
The Commonwealth Games that run from October 3 until October 14 will be broadcast on SuperSport 5 (DStv 205), SuperSport 6 (DStv 206), SuperSport 7 (DStv 207) and SuperSport HD (DStv 171). SuperSport 4 (DStv 204) will show selected events and daily highlights. SuperSport 5 and SUperSport HD will carry a daily one hour highlights show at 20:00.
According to SuperSport a crew of seven people will travel with the South African team to Delhi, India, including presenters James Wokabi and Crystal Arnold. Both will interview the athletes and do news stories.
''We've had to install a new satellite dish on campus to accommodate the feeds, but we were happy to do so,'' says Tex Teixeira, SuperSport's head of channels. ''Events such as the Commonwealth Games traditionally draw South Africans together, so we are delighted to be able to play our part.''
