Three Ghanaian Television stations have resorted to the African Union Broadcasting (AUB) to secure broadcast rights for the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola 2010.
The stations – Metro TV, TV3 and state-owned GTV – could not foot the whooping €1.5 million quoted by right owners Afnex LC2.
"We have spoken with AUB and I am very hopeful that we will be able to tie the deal in the shortest possible time," Optimum Media Prime (Metro TV) managing director Ken Ashigbey told Ghanasoccernet.com.
"The €1.5 million is on a high side for the Ghanaian economy and many economies in Africa especially will struggle to find the money.
"We have told them there is unity in strength and because this is an African event, it is imperative Africans are given the right to watch the match and enjoy it."
The consortium have in the past collaborated with AUB to telecast the FIFA Confederations Cup, World Youth Championship in Egypt and have also secured the rights to show the World Cup finals.
