Just a reminder: ABS-CBN will broadcast all national team matches exclusively starting 2013 until 2016, which may include the AFF Suzuki Cup. Does these mean no more bob guerrero? ;(

Does these mean no more bob guerrero? ;( You're kidding me, right? If you've back-read this thread, previously named "Azkals Exclusive broadcaster for 2012," when I meant ABS-CBN, it's the company as a whole and not just the station, so Studio 23 (which do most of the airtime for Phl team fixtures) is part of it, and your good ol' commentators. ;D The problem now is that I think TV5 (which holds AKTV) might still hold exclusive rights to the AFF Suzuki Cup (I heard it's until 2014), so there might be a problem there...

it's only "which may" stellarboy. or maybe they changed their contract. all national team matches is different from tournaments matches. that's the reason why AKTV holds the rights for AFF Suzuki Cup.

Yup, tournaments tv rights are usually sell by the organizers themselves, not by the individual Federations.

About the broadcaster for next Azkals tournaments as well as Global FC's
RT @abscbnsports: ABS-CBN is pleased to announce that it has broadcast rights to the 2013 AFC President's Cup, 2014 AFC Challenge Cup and 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup.
Now you know who will cover those tourneys.

Allow me to comment:
Good thing ABS-CBN won the bid to broadcast these competitions, especially the 2014 Suzuki Cup. Problem is, if the Philippines won't qualify for the 2014 Challenge Cup, and Global FC won't for the 2013 President's Cup main draw, they will still have to broadcast the competitions as far as serving the bid is concerned. Quite awkward.

I want to speculate on why ABS-CBN can't broadcast this year's AFC President's Cup live. ABS are quite busy with their coverage of the NBA Playoffs and the Fil-oil Pre-Season, and the upcoming mid-term elections. Plus there is the hard fact that Global FC plays in the UFL, in which AKTV holds the live broadcast rights. I bet ABS-CBN wanted to give in to the bball fans, save money to allot the channel for Halalan coverage and "respect" AKTV's claim of the UFL, so they decided to not broadcast Global's matches in the AFC President's Cup live. This is quite pathetic.

This is quite pathetic. Pathetic is not the word that comes to my mind, more like "malicious" and "gahaman" to me. Why did they bid for the broadcast rights for the AFC President's Cup in the first place if they have no plans of airing it live? For an organization that big, I don't think they can claim they didn't know it was a club tournament and didn't involve national teams. The only reason I can think of is so that AKTV or any other TV station for that matter don't get to air it live and compete with whatever they plan to broadcast on that day. That would be like big clubs buying all the good players and just letting them sit on the bench so long as their competitors don't get to field those good players against them. It also shows how ABS-CBN views football fans in the Philippines, with very little regard. Also, how will sponsors and advertisers invest in Philippine football if they see this so-called TV network giant not bothering to broadcast live an international (Asian region) football tournament that is being held here in the Philippines.

Another speculation brewing up on my mind when I found out that during the timeslot in which the AFC President's Cup match was supposed to be shown, Studio 23 broadcasted a 90's Pinoy film and a canned telanovela.
I understand live satellite broadcasts involves money. Most importantly, it's even more expensive if the venue is way outside Manila wherein the transmission has to be relayed from the OB van at the venue, to the nearest regional station, then to Manila. (In other cases, it can be relayed direct to Manila, which is even more costly.)
Based on the contract ABS-CBN had with the PFF, the deal involves, to the most part, the senior men's national team. There could be something with their terms that if it doesn't involve the NT, the team has to pay in part to ABS the cost to broadcast the fixtures for a particular tournament.
Since Global FC is a club team, not a national team, and is playing in the UFL, in which a rival network TV5/AKTV currently holds its broadcast rights, it maybe had to pay ABS an amount to compensate the network's broadcast costs and maybe the rights costs towards the tournament organizer of the AFC President's Cup.
Maybe Global and its manager Dan Palami don't have the resources yet to be able to make their matches broadcast live. So they resorted for a taped delay. I presume ABS-CBN Cebu provided the equipment for it.
Just my speculative thinking. Still, I don't agree with it.

I presume ABS-CBN Cebu provided the equipment for it. Just my speculative thinking. Still, I don't agree with it. Stellarboy, as a businessman I don't think Dan Palami would place himself in that situation and be at the mercy of ABS-CBN. The way I see it, broadcast costs will be covered by advertising revenue. ABS-CBN shells out money to get the broadcast rights, which in this case would be from the AFC. ABS-CBN then gets advertising revenue to cover the cost of acquiring the broadcast rights and make a profit. If ABS-CBN still wants to charge Dan Palami and Global, they can do so but that would reflect poorly on ABS-CBN. Why fleece Global when that is part of the product being marketed along with Philippine football? If that is the case, Dan Palami is better off buying the rights himself from AFC and auction it to an interested broadcaster or advertising sponsor. That is why "gahaman" is one of the word that comes to my mind. ABS-CBN bought the rights, and everyone now is at their mercy and AKTV who has UFL rights is screwed royally, losing an opportunity for a showcase piece for one of its "products." Ever wonder why the telecommunications sector is not open to foreign ownership or foreign majority owned investment under our Constitution? It's to protect the position of the current big gun in the industry. Well, it only shows that the bottom line for ABS-CBN is its bottom line. Sorry na lang UFL and Philippine club football.

I think AKTV chose to shy away from airing the President Cup's games because MVP is pulling the sports shows out of IBC 13 and will move them to TV5. That's why AKTV isn't anymore covering new sporting events (e.g. Shakey's V-League).
But I still don't know why Studio 23 won't air the games live. May because Global FC is not Azkals? But they have most of the Azkals! If only they have the Younghusbands, then maybe they'll air the games live.
Now I wonder what will happen to the Singapore Cup games, if they will be shown in here, and which station will air them.

Just what I thought, @leoisaiah. I read that MVP and TV5 are losing money with running the AKTV block on IBC with only a few million pesos returning on revenue.
I have also heard that GMA got the rights of the Shakey's V-League and will be shown on GMA News TV soon. It's quite surprising to hear that, really as the only sports they had broadcast is boxing. I wonder if they would broadcast other sports matches.
Speaking of the Singapore Cup, the Singapore/Malaysia feed of ESPN and Fox Sports have not yet posted anything on their schedule yet for broadcasting the Singapore Cup, so we'll have to wait. Last time, they were broadcast the matches on the Singapore feed of Star Sports which is why AKTV was able to get the live feed.
