Who the heck is this outfit?

They have just pinched Serie A rights from BT...to go with winning La Liga from Sky.

They are a dominant force in Poland. Started about two-three years ago and since then they acquire rights to Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Championship and english cups.

This year they were taken over by the biggest polish media holding - Polsat.

Anybody who puts it to those rs loving 2@s has my vote

 

[Huyton Layne]

Bloody Poles, coming to this country, buying the rights to sports and beating two horrible companies to them. or something.

 

[Connor]

Ah, so streaming La Liga and Serie A it is then.

 

[Yarrgh]

Jokes on them. Unless they get Robert Warzycha as their top pundit, I don't care about la liga or serie a.

The Leeds owner is the owner of the uk Eleven sports

The UK-based company has already set up sports channels around the world, but has confirmed it will launch two channels in the coming weeks to screen the Spanish and Italian games including Cristiano Ronaldo's debut season for Juventus.

Those two channels will be available online, but Eleven hopes to strike a carriage deal with the likes of Sky, BT and Virgin so its channels can be shown on their platforms too.

How much it will cost to subscribe to the new Eleven Sports service has yet to be confirmed, but the company has promised it will be flexible suggesting fans could have the option of subscribing month-by-month or longer-term.

Eleven Sports 1 will show football only with Eleven Sports 2 promising more football along with fight sports, esports and extreme sports. Eleven promises to announce further "top-tier" sports rights shortly.

[Nymzee]

Will they have a channel on BT TV I can pay for? Gutted I've lost another league now. What will I do Sunday mornings!

Does Sky genuinely have anything but Prem, Football League now?

They've literally lost all their little pieces like La Liga, Eredivisie, CSL...

Mad.

No tractor pulling I see, that was a staple on Screensport.

I'm not a fan of streaming and watching games on a tablet, but I am a big Serie A fan in particular, so I'll be signing up. The annual pass isn't bad value, and I haggled with Sky last week to get a cut in what I pay them, to help pay for this.

The fragmentation in sports rights is very problematic and costly though. Its the consumer that loses out.
