Do you guys know if the previous Asian games were broadcast on international sports channels? I gotta see it on tv and I dont wanna miss it, no matter what!!

I'm pretty sure it'll be on international sport channels. 'Cause they'll broadcast the games in high-definition, and as far as I know there isn't a single arabic channel which supports HD (other than one of the ART channels maybe?)...

***Halawala*** · October 31st, 2006, 08:31 AM

I remember the last games were in Pusan South Korea--and they were broadcasted everywhere

Al Jazeera Sport is gearing up for the Asian Games with a launch of two new free-to-air channels. In addition, “Al Jazeera Sport has a big surprise for its viewers today”, said Hedi Smirani, Official Spokesperson for Al Jazeera Sport. Al Jazeera Sport celebrates its 3rd anniversary today.

As a lead up to the Asian Games and throughout its duration, Al Jazeera Sport will have four free-to-air channels. The names of the channels will be as follows; al Jazeera Sport Asia I (with 24 hour coverage), Al Jazeera Sport, Al Jazeera Sport Asia II (Live-in-Arabic) and Al Jazeera Sport Asia III (Live-in-English).

When asked for details about the surprise, Smirani, in an interview with The Peninsula, responded: “I don’t want to spoil the surprise, it is very exciting and our viewers must tune in for the details.” He added, “We have been listening closely to our viewers. It will be a new look and it is unique and refreshing.” Smirani also said: “Our mission and values are the same, but we have seized this anniversary day to sharpen our look on the screen.”

When asked if their staffing needs have increased due to the Asia Games, Smirani responded: “Of course, these games are only second to the Olympics in size. There will be 39 sport disciplines and 45 countries represented.”

After the Asian Games, the number of free-to-air channels will revert back to two and the pay Al Jazeera Sport Plus channels will remain unchanged. Al Jazeera Sport Plus boasts a record of over 800,000 viewers at this time.

Al Jazeera Satellite Network will be celebrating their 10th anniversary today said Smirani. He added: “It is a tremendous time for all of us. We share in the 10th anniversary and at the same time we celebrate our third anniversary as a sports channel.” Smirani said Al Jazeera Sport will have some activities today to reward their staff for their hard work and contribution over the past three years.

Al-Jazeera announced that there'll be two channels especially for the Asian Games...

omarmakki · November 4th, 2006, 11:34 AM

Although these are some really crappy pics which show almost nothing

, it looks GOOOD!

But the building in the second pic doesn't look completed to me.

***Halawala*** · November 4th, 2006, 11:36 AM

^ Omar, it is. The pic is low resolution since its taken from a PDF file. The glass is made to look that way, sort of like an unpolished look!

Qatar Son 333 · November 4th, 2006, 11:53 AM

omarmakki · November 4th, 2006, 11:54 AM

Ahhh. lol! Well, it needs a much higher res. pic to see that!

But I 'suppose' it looks cool... Doesn't it?

***Halawala*** · November 4th, 2006, 12:35 PM

Yeah, it looks cool. I'll check Suzan's photos; she might have some
