20 YEARS OF FOOTBALL COMING CODED
April 19, 1991, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) signed a contract with the Coded Satellite Television (TSC).

"In the near future, when initiating Football Championship First Division in season 1991/1992, should be running the 'Pay Per View' . The story drags a thought: football again is a pioneer and foundation for major changes in the media. However
, football, a passion of multitudes seems unable, through their attitudes authorities, to issue clear message to the fans that support it. On Friday April 19 at the historic building Viamonte 1366, without prior notice or press release, signed a landmark six-year contract to join the AFA with a corporation by the name of 'Coded Satellite TV' to be in charge of energizing the new system. A business that holds several million dollars had the following frame. The press officer of AFA, Washington Rivera denied during the day the contract is signed. Which in effect and on his announcement, it happened. At night, the legal representatives of both parties, Julio Humberto Grondona, the AFA, and Carlos Avila, president of 'Torneos y Competencias SA' but also a shareholder and vice president of 'Satellite TV', refused to pose together in front of photographers from different backgrounds who expected to testify the ceremony. Even more suggestive, Avila almost escaped through a side door. An operation of high economic level, which means great help to the impoverished institutions of Argentine soccer, which is also a revolutionary-stresses in Argentina "in the offer that is made to the mass viewer in the country, rather than being surrounded by light was more like a creation of shameful parenting.

Don Julio hides nothing
On the third floor of AFA Julio Humberto Grondona listener questions, questions, questions that arise when comparing other exposures.

But the supply of which was to broadcast live football matches. That meant give the football to television.

The new company, 'Coded Satellite Television', unlike 'Tournament and Skills', is associated with the AFA and from that position will not cede rights to anyone.
