Stories that match can't be seen, is a hoax ....
TNL can be seen 90 percent in the country
-- Shan Wickremasingha
The Asia Cup Cricket Tournament which is being relayed these days in Sri Lanka is broadcast across the TNL channel. TNL it is understood is a channel which is difficult to watch for most viewers across independent rupavahini frequencies and a programme such as a
cricket match which demands being broadcast across such a channel has been subjected to debate. Sole Rights for broadcasting all cricket fixtures where Sri Lanka was to participate was handed over to the CSN Channel by the previous regime and in that instance too there was a dispute to the effect that CSN could not be seen anywhere in the country. CSN was alleged as the channel of Mahinda's son and that TNL happens to be the channel belonging to Ranil's brother.The question that has cropped up in this instance is as to what extent the rights of broadcasting a money-generating programme such as cricket being based on this type of political attachments. Whatever it is, TNL Chairman Shan Wickremasingha speaking over the morning programme of Isira Radio belonging to them stated a few days ago that TNL is clearly visible to 90 percent of people in Sri Lanka and that broadcasting the Asia Cup Cricket Tournament creates no problem. He further revealed that experts who came here from Japan and Germany provided this percentage of figures.
Finally he went on to say that those who make such complaints would be suffering from a defect in the spectacles they are using and that if their glasses are cleaned with toothpaste and then view TNL ... then there would be no problem.
