On the evening of January 12, Beijing time (0:00 on January 13), the Qatar Asian Cup will officially start. At 22:30 on January 13, Beijing time, the national football team, which has attracted much attention, will usher in the first match of this Asian Cup, and the opponent is Tajikistan, which is also in Group A.
However, attentive fans found that on January 12, the opening day of the Asian Cup, as of 10:30 a.m., CCTV's latest program list has not yet appeared in the opening match of the Asian Cup, as well as the broadcast arrangement of the first game of the national football team.
Among them, on the evening of January 12, the latest program scheduled by CCTV Sports Channel (CCTV5) is: 2023/2024 World Snooker Tour Masters - 1/4 Finals, and in the early morning of January 13, after the opening match of the Asian Cup, the current program is the top event - chess. Sports Events Channel (CCTV5+) will arrange at 00:00 on January 13: Live Video - The first stop of the 2023/2024 Short Track Speed Skating World Cup in Canada.
On the evening of January 13, the time period for the match between the national football team and Tajikistan, CCTV5's program list is currently scheduled to 21:45, which is the 2023/2024 World Snooker Tour Masters - semifinals. CCTV5+ is scheduled for the corresponding time period: 2023/2024 German Football Bundesliga - Round 17 (Augsburg-Bayer Leverkusen).
Judging from past experience, the CCTV program list generally arranges the broadcast arrangements for major events in advance, and even if the events need to be temporarily adjusted, the broadcast plan will be finalized two or three days in advance. But like this time, on the opening day of the Asian Cup, there is no clear broadcast information, which is indeed rare. This can't help but make people think: Could it be that the details of the broadcast have not been negotiated yet? Waiting for the final whistle to be announced?
