Cut in cricket TV on Sunday
PA Wellington Live television coverage of the first innings of the first one-day cricket final at Melbourne on Sunday will be restricted to the last halfhour of the first innings and all the second innings.
TVNZ’s controller of news, current affairs, and sport. Mr Bruce Crossan, said last evening that a satellite booking of some months standing by Japan meant that only the last half-hour, between 3.05 p.m. and 3.40 p.m.. of the first innings between New Zealand and Australia, could be transmitted.
“We are bitterly disappointed that we have not been able to arrange for the whole of the first innings to be brought in by satellite." Mr Crossan said.
The Japanese booking of the satellite will be to transmit live to Japanese viewers the Hawaiian Open golf tournament. A spokesman for TVN'Z later said that New Zealand television was unable to pick up live transmission from any other satellite.
