Television in Ghana

I was watching TV the other day when I noticed that 2 out of the 4 channels that they have here in Ghana were playing the same soccer match. This is pretty typical and I didn’t think anything of it until I saw this message scrolling across the bottom of the screen on one of the stations the game was being televised on:

It has come to our notice that GTV is illegally taking the feed for the FIFA Under 17 Match between Haiti and Nigeria from providers AUB. GTV are advised to desist from this or face legal action.

I just found it funny so I thought I would share. What is even funnier though is that GTV is the state owned television station of Ghana. I love watching television in the developing world. You never know what is going to be shown...
