: Missed Opportunity
By: Fernando Cornejo León
In this article I will not complain as Chiriboga in tandem with global Vizuete left us, nor I will refer to as the eleven of Maradona were left paralyzed by a German machine after machine was not to be so. The aim of this paper is trying to do a reading of the role played by state-owned media during the global transmission.
At first blush seemed more than reasonable and necessary to open TV channels broadcast all the matches, but the coverage of cable or satellite TV so low and football becoming the biggest sport and widespread in our country, we have always believed that sport is for everyone and not for having to pay a signal.
The State as owner of exclusive channels had a golden opportunity to break the sad tradition of sports journalism Ecuador, with very few exceptions lack of professionalism and in many cases do not have even basic standards of general education.
He could have made a coverage of football and not soccer South Africa, to various approaches to culture and socio-political reality, could have known the history of the continent and a country that has much to teach us about discrimination, social struggles and dialogues.
But in reality there was neither the one nor the other, football transmissions were weak as possible, taking into account that the international signal was coming for everyone who needed only count games well, with simplicity and certainty technique. TC
GamaTV and rapporteurs gave us vague, they did not know the name of those who were on the court and given the limitation of being off the screen from repeated Ecuador names. I know that Forlan is a major player but could not self-made three passes in the words of the story of Mr. Paco Alvarez, we know that the new map of Europe is complicated but we must not confuse Slovenia with Slovakia, especially when one of the two is on the court.
As commentators with the exception of Diego Arcos, we had a man believed to be an urban poet and has the ability to put together a sentence with as many adjectives and nouns and ultimately meaningless. I came to count one minute and twenty seconds of a speech confusing and full of baroque, I'm sure it does not educate the viewer on football matters and provides anything like a strategic and tactical analysis. Outside
game reports were a shame to see a man who calls himself "hinchapelotas" by an African leader to repeat the phrase "you're my husband" taking advantage of the good faith of the respondent and teaching the "acceptable" conduct which is discriminatory and arrogant when you have a microphone and a camera.
In a nutshell, and I hate to say, the state media also misled us and did what the media linked to the large oligarchies of the country.
can say that there was lack of budget to address technology DirecTV are nothing and may have a point, but if we talk to prioritize expenditures that were not understood by two commentators put the transmission in order not to interrupt his speeches took turns at intervals of fifteen minutes, while it had gone much cheaper to have a reporter and commentator on the scene which helped the story's accuracy, continuity in the commentary and better transmission quality. This fact was demonstrated in the match between Korea and Uruguay in which alternated Oscar Portilla and Diego Arcos, the only occasion on which the transfer went smoothly and without the pitfalls of a man desperately calling from South Africa to their peers in Guayaquil to give his opinion (atenti-atenti!!)
The state TV lost a golden opportunity and who knows if it happens again, it might have made a revolution in sports broadcasting, may have tried to educate on that was on the court and off it could have been placed on the stage of commentators and young people with the security training in the country and have no chances of being in a World Cup because they are not owners or shareholders of mass media, instead gave us more of the same.
The only complaint we hear from critics has always been on government advertising during the games, I continue claiming the government's need to convey your message in the media on which you have the opportunity because of the inability to do otherwise by the character of outspoken opposition of most of the private media. But I also can not be complicit in a mediocre production that led us to have a really scary world as far as transmission is concerned.
The opportunity to demonstrate that life is not necessary to sell his soul to the devil to hire a private signal that gives us a football game was diluted from the antics of "hinchapelotas" long and tedious diatribes and prayers Bonafont display of a reporter named Gutiérrez. It was change much and could not or was not willing to make a real shame.
