NEWSWATCH: It looks like a number of community TV stations around the country will be forced to shut down if the experience of Cape Town's CTV is anything to go by, reports IOL, which also reports that the head of the SABC's formal education unit has died, apparently as a result of a domestic dispute. On the 2010 front, it seems some of FIFA's conditions governing the media and their coverage of the event have not gone down well, reports Business Day. 
The SABC has responded to the The Star newspaper article ‘SABC's R400m 2010 ruse', refuting allegations in the article that the corporation has used the World Cup as a means to avoid an interdict aimed at overturning a questionable R400 million contract, and that the SABC does not have a broadcast contract with FIFA. 
Following the success of the FIFA Fan Fests in 2006, when more than 18 million fans gathered at 12 official events and transformed Germany into one of the greatest fan parties of all time, FIFA has announced the 2010 international locations. 
To meet the strong demand by the football fans especially in the qualified countries it was decided to extend the second sales phase of 2010 FIFA World Cup until 20 November 2009. 
Football fans have until end of today, Monday 16 November 2009, to secure seats for the FIFA World Cup in 2010 in South Africa, as the second phase of ticket sales closes. Tickets can still be purchased online via FIFA.com and at FNB branches across South Africa. 
Said to be the first agreement of its kind in the history of Chinese sport and FIFA, the latter announced yesterday, 12 November 2009, the signing of a deal in Beijing with China Central Television (CCTV) covering the broadcasting of different FIFA tournaments from now until 2014, including the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups.
