World Broadcasters Meet for CWG right holders begins Friday

New Delhi: Commonwealth Games Organising Committee and Prasar Bharti will jointly host a three-day second World Broadcasters Meet for the right holding broadcasters of the CWG starting here from Friday.

The Meet will update international and national Rights Holding Broadcasters (RHBs) on all the broadcasting activities of the Games, OC Chairman Suresh Kalmadi said in a statement. “We acknowledge the importance of the Rights Holding Broadcasters and place on record that the revenues earned from the sale of broadcast rights will help us repay the loan of Rs 1620 crore that we are getting from Government to conduct the Games,” Kalmadi said. “We shall appraise the RHBs of the arrangements we are making for them to ensure that they showcase the Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi to a world-wide audience,” he said.
