BT WINS RIGHTS TO FA PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHES ON DEMAND
BT today announced it has won the rights to carry 242 'near-live' FA Premier
League football matches per season. The three year deal covers the 2007-8,
2008-9 and 2009-10 seasons. BT has acquired the rights in a joint bid with
BSkyB.
This means fans will, for the first time, be able to watch full Premiership
matches on their televisions on a pay per view basis - without the need for an
upfront television subscription. The matches will be offered via BT Vision, the
next-generation TV service due to launch in Autumn 2006.
The successful bid will enable BT Vision customers to enjoy a range of
Premiership matches, on demand. The matches will generally be available from 10
pm on kick-off day for a period of fifty hours allowing fans flexibility in
terms of when they want to watch the game. It means that BT Vision, which
already has access to content from such well known names as BBC Worldwide,
Paramount, Endemol, DreamWorks, National Geographic Channel and Warner Music
Group, also has one of the most compelling sports-entertainment offers in the
UK.
Dan Marks, CEO of BT Vision, said: "We're delighted to have won this bid. This
is a landmark moment for sports viewing in the UK as BT Vision customers will
have great control, convenience and choice over the games they want to watch
without the need for an upfront subscription. This is a great example of the
added value that BT broadband delivers."
