Optima Sports Management International (OSMI), the exclusive 2014 FIFA World Cup terrestrial broadcast rights owners for the Nigerian territory, has allayed the fear that some Nigerian radio and television stations will be barred from broadcasting the 2014 FIFA World Cup matches.

OSMI recently signed a transmission agreement with Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON), the umbrella body of radio and television stations across the country. However, there was a palpable fear that stations that are not members of BON would be denied the opportunity of transmitting the matches.

Speaking at the second edition of the OSMI World Cup Broadcasters Workshop in Lagos, Mr. Kunle Falodun, Managing Director, OSMI, said due to the global buzz that the event has generated and in fulfillment of the key objective of his company which is to provide premium sports content to all Nigerians, every interested station would be allowed to beam the matches.
