Torpedo Kutaisi VS Kukesi match replays -- The statement of First Channel

In respect to Torpedo Kutaisi and Kukesi matches, First Channel has been holding intensive negotiations with the Albanian Public Broadcaster to exchange the license. Unfortunately, the Albanian club sold the broadcast rights to German Distribution Company.

Despite the great desire of the Albanian Public broadcaster, the matches could not be exchanged because the club itself negotiated with the mediator company.

However, on  August 9, 2018, the broadcaster shot match and showed Georgian fans, moreover, the organization provided the signal free of charge to Torpedo Kutaisi.

The club sold the signal to the intermediary company, which today demands money from the First Channel for showing match replays and which contradicts the organization’s regulations.

The first channel acquires any license only directly from the owner and not the mediator.
