Malaysian public broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has been granted exclusive terrestrial broadcasting rights for the 2014 FIFA World Cup taking place in Brazil from June 12 to July 14.
RTM Broadcasting Director-general, Norhyati Mohd Ismail said RTM will air 35 of the 64 World Cup matches in HD – of which 24 will be live and 11 will be aired as delayed telecasts. She said that matches to be telecast live include those of national teams favoured by Malaysian fans – especially Brazil, England, Argentina, Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Argentina, South Korea and Japan.
Malaysia’s Communications and Multimedia Minister, Ahmad Shabery Cheek, said the cost of buying the rights would be funded through sponsorship from private companies – and not from government funds.
