Ten Sports and Goal TV have agreed to a new multi-year deal which will allow Goal TV's football content to be shown to the 50 million households of Ten Sports and Zee Sports in the Indian sub-continent.
The agreement also sees the production of Goal TV's two all-football channels shift to the Ten Sports headquarters in Dubai. Goal TV is a JV between Astro in Malaysia and Hong Kong's Yes TV. It claims to reach 60 million viewers in 16 countries.
Goal TV founder Thomas Kressner said, "It is an excellent development for us to partner with the Indian sub-continent's leading sports channel, with its huge daily audience and solid production experience".
Goal TV's content includes live action from the French, Scottish and Dutch premier leagues and programming from top English clubs Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, and Spanish La Liga club Barcelona.
Ten Sports senior VP Peter Hutton said, "This volume of excellent football content is part of a growing bouquet of football rights on Ten and Zee Sports. It supports our existing deals with the Uefa Champions League, Uefa Cup, Uefa Supercup, Fifa, AFC, the English championship and the All India football federation."
The new agreement means that Taj TV, Ten Sports' parent will now produce and transmit nine channels from its Dubai based headquarters, ranging from the Cricket Plus channel for Directv in the US to the Football Channel for Singapore cable operator Starhub.
