RS CEO Surachai Chetchotisak’s announcement came a day after the Central Administration Court ruled that the company does not have to televise live all 64 matches of the finals on free TV as required by the so-call ‘must-have’ rule set by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).

“We always do business for the best interest of the public with etiquette and righteousness,” said Surachai.

“We are confident that our broadcast will be exciting.”

The 22 games, which include the opening, semi-final and final matches, will be available on Channel 7 and digital TV Channel 8.

The World Cup set-top boxes will be available from next week at convenient stores and satellite dish retailers.

The tournament will be held in Brazil from June 12-July 13.
