So everyone knows that Setanta has ceased buying and selling in England, Wales and Scotland, nonetheless it’s nonetheless working within the Republic of Eire, Northern Eire, USA, Canada, Australia and Africa. Now what does this imply for the distribution of the Premier League’s dwell UK tv rights? Beforehand Premier League TV rights had been cut up into six packages, every consisting of 23 dwell matches, making a complete of 138 video games being screened on dwell tv every Soccer season 해외축구중계.
Now chances are you’ll suppose that this isn’t a giant deal, and a few large shot firm like Sky will simply reap the income and monopolize the market holding all six packages for the season….however you would be improper. Industry regulators demand that the six packages have to be cut up between a couple of broadcaster, so in precise truth there have to be a direct competitor to Sky as no single broadcaster are capable of personal all six packages. This deal was agreed in 2005 with the European Fee. Beforehand Sky, held 4 of the six packages(this might be held for the 09-10 season), that means that the British broadcaster will present 92 dwell matches subsequent season.
The remaining two packages of 46 video games, which had been beforehand held by Setanta had been taken over by American broadcaster, ESPN. You might also recall that there have been talks of ESPN bailing out Setanta…..guess that they had different plans in thoughts. ESPN have launched a brand new channel to display screen the newly-acquired dwell matches, that buyers will be capable to buy on prime of their present Sky TV subscription in addition to different British suppliers similar to Virgin media.
Now that is for the present season…..what is going to occur within the 2010-2011 season is a unique story, my guess is that Sky will try to realize extra of the video games from ESPN. Presumably upping their variety of video games from 92 to 115 or so, leaving ESPN with 23 video games. Could that be the case or not, we could also be in for a power wrestle within the coming 12 months between New commers to the GB premier league ESPN and GB veterans Sky!
