What is the reason why China's state-run broadcasting station does not show the spectator seats up at the World Cup?



Bill Bartles, an East Asia correspondent for the

Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), a public broadcaster in Australia, points out that ``China's national broadcast does not show the spectator seats at the World Cup.''

Mr. Bartles saw a tweet saying, ``China's national broadcaster doesn't show the spectator seats at the World Cup,'' and at first he thought it was a joke. When I checked the live distribution of CCTV-5 , a sports specialty channel of China Central Television (CCTV), a state-run broadcasting station, at the same time, I confirmed that the audience seats were not displayed intentionally in the distribution of CCTV-5. .




Playing on the MacBook on the right is the SBS live stream, which you can see from the SBS logo in the upper right corner of the video. I'm watching the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group F Croatia vs. Canada match held on November 28, 2022. It is a video around 35 minutes in the first half when Croatia scored one goal against Canada.



Croatia's number 9 Andrej Kramaric scored the equalizing goal.



Expressing the joy of the tie goal with the whole body.



After that, the Croatian supporters in the audience are shown jubilant. There should be many people who are familiar with the scene where supporters in the audience seats are projected even in Japan's World Cup broadcast.



On the other hand, the MacBook on the left is watching the live broadcast of China's CCTV-5, and the CCTV-5 logo can be seen perfectly in the upper left of the image. The video starts just before Croatia's equalizing goal.

Another Kramaric goal celebration



After that, director Zlatko Dalic of the Croatia national team was shown.



In addition, the scene switches to a happy Croatian national team player on the pitch.



However, the replay image of the goal was displayed without the spectator seats up.



For SBS, the spectator seats will be projected during the replay video of the goal scene.




On the other hand, CCTV-5 only shows replay images from various angles.





After that, only the players and managers on the pitch were shown, and the spectator seats were not shown.





Below is a video comparing the scene of Canada's first goal in the same Croatia vs. Canada match with SBS and CCTV-5. SBS shows the audience seats, but CCTV-5 hardly shows the audience seats. However, at around 1 minute and 31 seconds in the video, perhaps because of a camera switch mistake, the Canadian supporters burst into joy for just a moment, and you can see the scene where the video switches to a different angle in about 1 second.




“CCTV, China’s state-run broadcaster, said, ‘We are not censoring the close-ups of the auditorium because some close-ups of the auditorium have been broadcast, and CCTV has another It's because I'm just selecting the images from the camera.” I am tweeting.




Mark Dreyer, an insider of a Chinese sports organization, first pointed out that ``China's state-run broadcasting does not show the spectator seats at the World Cup.'' “This is great, because Chinese fans were outraged by seeing unmasked World Cup crowds in Qatar, so Chinese TV now shows players and coaches instead of the stadiums at matches,” Dreyer said. I am,' he tweeted, explaining that CCTV did not show the audience seats because 'the backlash against the lockdown being implemented in China will intensify.'




In addition, the highlight video of Croatia vs. Canada released by Abema, which broadcasts all World Cup games live, can be checked from the following. In both highlight videos, you can see the scene where the audience seats are projected up.
