There is always first time in life

Six days ago it was announced that RAI will not cover matches from the World Cup 2018 on its channels. This in fact is the first time ever at football World Cup events that Italian state television broadcaster will not transmit games on its platform. The right to show this spectacle in the country was 'stolen' by the private media company Mediaset which promised 'exclusivity and free' to all 64 games for its viewers. Allegedly the biggest sporting event on earth was purchased for 78 million euros.
