BBC still negotiating for Delhi Games

London: British Broadcasting Corporation is still in negotiation stage with the Organising Committee (OC) of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, media reports said.

A report in the `The Daily Telegraph` said even though OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi assured last month that the organisers have struck "good deals" with broadcasters in Britain, BBC, a traditional broadcaster, was yet to commit for the event."Negotiations are still ongoing and have yet to be finalised," the broadcasters were quoted as saying. The daily also claimed being told recently by an official source that England might not send its contingent to Delhi for security reasons."The BBC refused to comment over fears that the broadcaster may be waiting for assurances from Commonwealth officials that the squad would be travelling in September before committing to any rights deal," the report said.
