Openview has expanded its content offering to include a live sports channel.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Thursday (8 August), the free satellite service provider said it will be broadcasting the English Premier League on its newly established ‘News&Sports’ channel with matches being broadcast until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
Openview said the matches will primarily include one of the top six Premier League football clubs each week.<\/p>\n
Teams will include Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Together with the live matches, eMedia Investments said it has the rights to schedule other football-related magazine programmes that are produced by the Premier League.<\/p>\n
“This is a momentous addition for us, and for the free-to-air television-watching public,” said COO of eMedia Investments.<\/p>\n
“A leading brand of sport continues in the free-to-air domain and we, at Openview, are excited to host it.<\/p>\n
“eMedia will add its very own touch to this broadcast, and hopefully in time, will be able to add more sports offerings on to our bouquet,” he said.<\/p>\n
