the TV broadcasting rights meeting on duties and
copyright for broadcasting in six Asean countries.
Vice President of the Lao National Olympic
Committee, Mr Chanpheng Silattana, representatives
from LAOSOC and from Asean countries attended the
meeting.
PAC Director, Mr
Khammoui Keomany, said he was looking forward to
cooperating with LAOSOC and the Lao people to
successfully selling TV broadcasting rights for the
games.
Laos will use about
16 mobile broadcasting vans to cover all sports
venues and will employ more than 144 people to work
in production. The budget for the management of TV
broadcasting is about 34 billion kip (US$4
million).On the same day, LAOSOC officials reported
progress on the sports complex and many other venues
that are yet to be completed.
In addition to this,
there is set to be coverage of specific events by
individual magazines, such as PoolAsia for all the
aquatic events.
Venues include the
main sports complex, indoor stadiums at the National
University of Laos, the Chao-Anou football stadium,
the Lao-ITECC arena and the Bungkha-nhong indoor
stadium.
The venues are being
built with the installation of broadcasting
facilities in mind as provision of broadcasting
equipment at each venue is a requirement for hosting
the games. The national football stadium at
Dongsanghin village in Xaythany district will be
inspected and tested in June by LAOSOC before
hosting the games' opening and closing ceremonies in
December.
