Topic: So... WHERE do we watch the Superbowl? Return to archive Page: 1 2
January 31st, 2006 08:22 AM
FotiniD I'm enjoying all the talk about what they'll play and what they won't play and how great or bad it's gonna be, but I got one vital little question: WHERE can I watch the damn thing?!

Is there any chance it might be broadcast on the net or is there any other way you can watch it live if you're not an American resident?

Thanks!

Ten Thousand Motels Super Bowl XXXVII to be broadcast in 220 countries & territories


GAME RETURNS TO TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION IN UNITED KINGDOM FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1997

The eyes of football fans around the world will be on Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego when Super Bowl XXXVII kicks off on Sunday, January 26, as an estimated worldwide audience of 800 million will watch the NFL crown a new champion.

International broadcasters will televise the game to 220 countries and territories in 28 different languages.

Fifteen broadcasters from 11 countries will be covering the game on-site: Canada (Global TV), Denmark (TV2), France (Canal +), Germany (Premiere World, SAT 1), Italy (Tele +), Japan (NHK, NTV), Venezuela (Meridiano), Mexico (Televisa, Estadio W Radio), Netherlands (SBS), Russia (NTV) and the United Kingdom (Channel 5, Sky Sports).

In the UK, Channel 5 will televise the Super Bowl on terrestrial television for the first time since 1997. As part of Super Bowl Week on Channel 5, the broadcaster will also air a 30-minute prime-time program each day leading up to the game focusing on its significance as an American social phenomenon and the premiere global sports event.

"On Super Bowl Sunday our sport is being showcased to millions of fans around the world," says NFL Commissioner PAUL TAGLIABUE. "The growing appeal of football beyond the borders of the United States is evidenced by the tremendous interest in the Super Bowl from every corner of the globe."

Elsewhere in Europe, fans in Italy will also be enjoying their first terrestrial Super Bowl broadcast since 1997, as Italian broadcaster RETI will bring fans all the action on Italia 1.

In Japan, terrestrial broadcaster NTV will bring nearly 50 staffers to the Super Bowl, helping the network support the four independent programs they will produce, including the popular magazine-style show, Club T.

Latin American fans will continue to enjoy NFL coverage via ESPN International's weekly NFL studio show, NFL Semanal. The program will send a full production team to San Diego, including a sideline reporter to capture all the festivities, both from inside the stadium to the many surrounding attractions.

Fans in Brazil will follow the Super Bowl on Globo TV, the nation's No. 1 terrestrial broadcaster. Regular programming will be halted for live Super Bowl updates and the halftime show will also be shown. A Super Bowl recap features prominently in the popular weekly sports show, Esporte Espetacular.

American military personnel stationed around the world will receive significant Super coverage from the American Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS). AFRTS has been on-site at the Super Bowl since the 1990 NFL season.

"The American Armed Forces Radio and Television Service graciously thank the National Football League for again providing us with game coverage throughout the 2002 season," says United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel ROBERTO GARZA, Commander of the AFRTS Broadcast Center.

"It is particularly special to our deployed men and women as they tackle the mission of defending our country against terrorism, provide humanitarian support to those in need, and continue their daily task of defending our way of life. The NFL on AFRTS is great for maintaining the morale and well-being of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines stationed overseas in harm's way, and we are all looking forward to another terrific Super Bowl."

Bad news...it stands for American Forces
Radio and Television Service through the
US Department of Defense. The TV signals
are low-powered and in the NTSC format
for viewing at military bases.

I doubt if you want to try to go to a U.S.
Military base to watch the Superbowl!
(Although they would probably like to
have you there...)

Angiegirl Oh dear, SBS6 broadcasts it in Holland? Well, it's in the middle of the night, so it'll make a nice change from the usual non-stop sex ads.

yes.Stones announced 1:30/2:00.
January 31st, 2006 12:51 PM
Angiegirl Great, luckily that won't interfere with the usual Buffy The Vampire Slayer rerun, which ends around 1 am...

If it is indeed around 1.30-2.00, I think I'll stay awake and watch it. Geez, what a mess I'll be, a few hours later at work...
