/c/café daily chat thread for 16 August 2023
(self.cafe)
Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
Women's World Cup Disappointed to just get back to Malaysia to discover that WWC is not being shown on ASTRO, UNIFI TV or FTA. Anyone know why?
Assumption that there's no market/interest, likely
TIL the bidding for broadcasting rights was quite controversial. FIFA rejected a lot of low bids, which is one of the reasons why Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand did not have official broadcaster for the Women's World Cup.
Still think those 3 countries had other priorities to spend media coverage on during the tournament period. You got a point.
I didn't realize they've done this to the WWC too, how very FIFA of them 💀 I guess that's a sign of success
