“Hearts could have made that money if policy decisions had been made two, three years or 10 years ago about television. And we’ve been talking about this for a long time. We’re talking about digital migration.”
The controversial broadcaster added: “Hearts go zero from the game because we don’t have a way to pay for the television video of Hearts of Oak.
“But we pay to watch Manchester United in Ghana because the people at Manchester United have determined a policy that allows us to pay to watch the team.”
Hearts recorded an important 1-0 victory over bitter rivals Kotoko at the Accra Sports stadium on Sunday to move closer to ending their decade-long trophy drought.
Samuel Boadu’s side outplayed, outfought and outthought their opponents, before a fantastic volley from Daniel Afriyie Barnieh sealed the win.
Meanwhile, the Accra-based side has now moved three points clear of Kotoko on the league table, and boosted their hopes of winning the title for the first time in 11 years.
The Phobians now need to win two out of their remaining three league matches to be crowned champions.
