Premier League club Newcastle United has ended its partnership with PTV under which they operated their media rights joint venture business, nufc.co.uk Limited ("Nufc.co.uk").

The club has purchased the entire PTV holding in the joint venture business for £1.35million, of which £0.675million is payable in 12 months' time, reports the club’s official website.

In addition, Nufc.co.uk has paid PTV a severance fee for the terminated management agreement and entered into a new five-year hosting agreement with PTV.

Newcastle United now has full ownership of the business into which it had licensed certain media rights. PTV has a long-term contract for the supply of services that include hosting infrastructure, subscription and video streaming technology.
