The Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of AFA Sports Media, Dr Kuku Biney says the organisation is not responsible for the poor-quality footages of the Ghana Premier League.
AFA sports, who are the official partner, said the Ghana Football Association and Ghana Premier League started to broadcast the GPL after Startimes pulled out on broadcasting any match concerning Ghana’s League.
Most Ghanaians and other football fraternities have been complaining bitterly about the poor quality visuals they receive in their various homes while watching the GPL.
In a one-on-one interview with Justice Adusi -Poku, the host of Legend sports show at Atinka fm, Dr Kuku Biney had the opportunity to explain to Ghanaians their major challenges.
Dr. Biney said it was not the intention of the company (AFA MEDIA) to give bad visuals to Ghanaians or waste money to buy equipment to broadcast matches.
He said there were circumstances beyond their control.
He pinpointed those venues for matches as a main factor; adding that the lighting system in the stadium to broadcast evening matches was very poor.
He believes this contributes to the provision of unsatisfactory visuals.
“When the quality of fog light is not up to standard in stadiums it affects production,”he stressed.
He added that most of our football stadiums did not consider well-structured media stands to get a clear and quality video during football matches.
“Team owners should always try to consider a proper media stand which will aid the media to give good footage,” he said.
Another major concern raised by Dr. Biney is the transmission of feed or visuals to other media houses.
He said sometimes the capacity of the feed they bring from the main source(stadium) is very high and before a media house can broadcast it, it has to get equal or more capacity to contain the visuals but if the receiver’s capacity is low, the video then get squeezed after production and it will result in low-quality visuals.
“Ghana needs a heavy capital investment whereby only one channel can broadcast matches, so that people will enjoy full and ultra definitions in our homes,”he said.
He added that we need the right attitude to support this project and surely Ghana will get there.
