Tune In to Commonwealth Games
A report this week by Katrina Strickland in The Australian newspaper (page 5, July 5) says that Cambodia is among a number of Asian nations that will see the Commonwealth Games for the first time when televised in 2006.
Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games chairman Ron Walker hopes to have sold all television rights to the event by September, with the all-important Indian deal expected within days.
A deal earlier this week with the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union has a potential audience of a billion people with its reach to 18 Asian countries.

It will be the first time the Games have been seen in Cambodia, Vietnam, East Timor, Afghanistan and Indonesia, with the TV reach of the event increased by 10 countries and 500million people on that of the last Games in Manchester.
