ATN to bring Champions Twenty 20 Cricket Tournament to Canada in HD

by Darren Murph posted Dec 1st 2008 at 6:38AM


Being that cricket is in the air in India, it's no shock to hear of all these broadcast deals getting inked at the eleventh hour. Now, Asian Television Network (ATN) has announced that it has purchased the exclusive Canadian rights to broadcast the Champions League Twenty20 Tournaments cricket series for the next three years. The 2008 series will be aired live and rebroadcast on ATN's CBN and ATN-Cricket Plus in the Great North, and more importantly, the events will be telecast in high-def across Canada next year. Not quite sure too many Canucks will choose this over hockey, but having the option sure will be nice.

In what's believed to be an Australian first, the Twenty20 matchup between Australia and India is slated to be aired in 1080i. The event, which will occur on February 1, 2008 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, will be shot and broadcast in high-definition on Australia's Nine Network. The announcement is coming in the midst of competition between Seven, Nine and Ten to ramp up HD offerings, as Ten is already planning to broadcast every single 2008 AFL (Australian Football League) contest in HD while Seven aims to show the Beijing Olympics in 1080i. Meanwhile, we Americans will be gearing up for Super Bowl XLII.
