Local goes international

Sports

A LOCAL broadcaster delivered a live telecast of a Pacific rugby league Test match when it aired the Fiji-Samoa Test throughout PNG and across the Pacific on Oct 8.
Digicel Play, through its subsidiary TVWan, broadcast the historic Test live from Samoa, which was staged in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of Rugby League Samoa. International broadcasters Fox Sports (Australia) and Sky NZ (New Zealand) took over TVWan’s signal to broadcast it to their local audiences. Digicel Play’s chief executive officer Nico Meyer, said this was a major milestone for broadcasting in PNG.
