Singapore sports fans will be able catch more local sports offerings on the new SuperSports Arena channel, on StarHub Ch122.
Launched on February 12, SuperSports Arena will offer exciting local sports programming as well as a plethora of international sports including football, tennis and golf tournaments, and wrestling.
Football fans can look forward to their favourite local football action with the airing of two S.League matches ‘live’ weekly on the channel, on Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.25pm. A total of 54 S.League matches will be aired ‘live’ over the course of the season, almost double the 28 games broadcast over free-to-air last year.
Also, with StarHub and Singapore Sports Council signing a MOU, one can expect more original local sports content on the channel. An example of a local sports programme currently being developed is a youth-oriented sports reality programme centred on the core values of the Olympic Movement- Excellence, Friendship and Respect. The show will be aired on SuperSports Arena ahead of the inaugural Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games in August this year.
SuperSports Arena will help to build a strong sporting culture by extending the exposure of local sporting events to over half a million households, giving Singapore’s football league and budding sporting talents a bigger platform to shine.
