Eurosport secures carriage deal with Zattoo

Swiss IPTV platform Zattoo has struck a deal to carry pan-European sports broadcaster Eurosport in German-speaking Europe.

Zattoo will live stream Eurosport free-of-charge through its basic package, which is financed through advertising.

Eurosport broadcasts coverage of various major sports events such as the Tour de France cycling race and the FA Cup, the major club football knockout competition in England.

Eurosport becomes the third free-to-air channel to launch on Zattoo, following US cable and satellite television network TLC and UK entertainment channel DMAX.
