BEIN sports also removes TODAY'S Naija match from TV

[Its a Goal]

I think we should demand an explanation from BeIN Sports why they have decided to cut back the number of African matches they are covering. I fear it may have to do with contractual reasons.

[Tbite]

They are missing the most important African double header, they might as well throw out all their other matches.

Here is a copy of the email I sent to BeIN Sports:

Hi,

As a subscriber of your channel for almost a year I have had the opportunity to watch many matches involving African countries including the African Cup of Nations qualifiers and tournament, as well as World Cup qualifiers. This weekend as I was settling to get to watch the ACN champions, Cameroon, take on Nigeria, their fieriest rivals, a match that would have drawn an extremely high viewership due to the intense football rivalry between them, it came as a total surprise when I found out that it was not going to be available to watch on any of your platform. Neither of the 2 matches played on Friday and Monday was aired. This was a big let down and very disappointing for me and other subscribers who watch African football and who subscribe to your channel for the sole purpose of getting to watch this brand of football.

I will appreciate an explanation as to why this particular match, as well as other high profile African WCQ matches were not aired by your company this weekend. I will also like to know if this situation is going to be an onward development so that I may decide on the package I subscribe for with my cable company.

Yours Sincerely,

Once I get a response I will share.

Tell them you appreciate their feedback and that you reserve the right to change subsciptions to programming channels that change their programming at will without consideration to people who may have subscribed for the particular programming, and as such you are cancelling your subscription. And that once again you thank them for their condescending response.

My suggestion is that those like me, with valid subscription and not like Anigbelenu using stolen connection, should contact them a few weeks ahead of the October 7 match, to demand they show it. The more people who contact them the more pressured they will feel compelled to air the match.

Why? If they dont show it others will. No need to beg them, just cancel the subscription.

Uncle, unless I want to keep dealing with online bugs and feed delays to watch Nigeria dismantle Zambia, my best bet is to pressure BeIN Sport do the right thing. ESPN, NBC Sports, CBS Sports and Fox can't be bothered covering any of those matches talkless showing.
