TVE Rejects Mediapro’s LaLiga Proposal
Proposal Spain’s public broadcaster has told Mediapro that it won’t be paying for coverage of top flight football next season.
Spain - Spain’s public broadcaster, TVE, has made a
significant decision that it won’t be paying for coverage of top-flight
football next season. The rejection comes after four months of negotiations
with Mediapro, the rights holder.
El Confidencial
Digital reports that TVE had concerns about several aspects of the proposed
contract. These included the number of conditions attached to the deal and
potential scheduling conflicts with Friday night matches and regular cultural
programming.
The package under
discussion was similar to what Gol TV currently broadcasts, with restrictions
that excluded Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Valencia CF.
Additionally, any team competing in Europe would only be covered after being
knocked out of the competition. The budget allocated for the 38 league games
was €3.8 million, roughly €100,000 per match.
This decision marks a
significant shift in LaLiga coverage, and it remains to be seen how it will
impact football fans and the broadcasting landscape in Spain.
