Sports News of Saturday, 11 January 2020Source: 3news.comWe won’t give equipment, staff to StarTimes for GPL telecast - GBCFile photo of a GBC media vanTelevision broadcast of Ghana’s Premier League (GPL) and FA Cup, which begins this weekend, is likely to suffer a major setback as the country’s state broadcaster fights back hard after losing the bid for the broadcasting rights. It has accordingly directed its head of technical production not to release any GBC staff and equipment to StarTimes to telecast or broadcast the GPL matches this weekend, the sources said. “Staff are therefore to stay away from any unapproved collaboration with StarTimes until further notice” it added. GBC staff and equipment have heavily been used by StarTimes in recent times for most of its productions. The latest move by the GBC could cost StarTimes which may not be able to deliver its mandate under the broadcasting rights contract with the GFA.
