The national broadcaster had previously had the contract to televise the national championships‚ Two Oceans Marathon and Comrades Marathon.
But in the absence of a deal there was no coverage of the Two Oceans last weekend and there’s nothing so far at the stadium on the eastern reaches of Johannesburg‚ apart from commentary-less live-streaming on ASA’s Facebook page.
