TVE strikes Mediapro deal for Spanish football highlights

Spanish public-service broadcaster TVE has struck a deal with the Mediapro agency for non-exclusive highlights to domestic club football competitions LaLiga and the Copa del Rey.

The rights run across the three seasons spanning 2016-17 to 2018-19. They come from a package of rights Mediapro acquired from LaLiga last month.

Mediapro paid €9m per season for free-to-air highlights of all LaLiga and Copa del Rey content. The PR Noticias website said TVE will pay €6m in total, or €2m per season, for its non-exclusive rights.

It added that Mediapro is still in talks with other operators regarding further potential sublicensing deals.
