A New ERA in Roller Hockey and TV

After many years without Roller Hockey live on TV, seems that situation is changing finally in Portugal and Spain.
There are two main reasons to reach this amazing goal for our sport:

1. A big effort by federations together with public and private TV's;
2. Web TV's started to grow and to prove that Roller Hockey still has market.

In Portugal the "Primeira Divisão" (Firs Division) was always broad-casted until some years ago, when the Portuguese Roller Sports Federation stopped the agreement with RTP, public TV.
However the agreement was renovated again and all the season of  2011/2012 will have at least a match broad-casted at 15:00 (+0 GMT Portuguese Time) all Saturdays.

In Spain the agreement was concluded between Spanish Federation and two channels TV3 and RTVE, being transmitted all Monday at 21:00 hours (+1 GMT, Spanish Time) in these channels and also in RFEP TV.





Italy keeps the agreement with RAI (not available by internet out of Italy) broadcasting weekly the games of the Italian league.




Beside the National Federation Agreements there are WEBTV's that also will transmit some matches of each competition. Usually this channels are part of the clubs, but others regional channels like:

Portugal:

• PA TV (matches of Paço de Arcos, team of 1ª Divisão)
• Física TV (matches of Física, team of 1ª Divisão)

• Radio Pico TV (matches of Candelária, team of 1ª Divisão)
