television rights

refer the post that complains about Stargate Atlantis only showing on TV2.

on my last trip to Melaka, i checked out a copy of this TV magazine in the salon my mom was getting her hair done in. it had Stargate Atlantis scheduled for Thursday nights at nine PM.

today is Thursday. my phone rang at eight-fifty PM to remind me that Stargate Atlantis was on TV2 tonight. i even set the alarm ten minutes in advance so that i would be able to tune the TV to the right frequency if required.

at eight fifty-four PM i remember that, due to foreign broadcast rights issues, StarHub no longer provides broadcast feeds of TV2 and TV3. paradoxically (the word used by Bloomberg news services to describe the situation), TV2 and TV3 still show right up on your TV if you were to use the aerial antenna feed instead. i didn't bother with the aerial feed, they wanted to watch Love Concierge.

oh what a beautiful cuntry we live in.
