UEFA has announced that it has awarded the 2012-15 UEFA Champions League media rights in Greece to ERT and Nova. Nova has also secured certain rights for the 2012-15 UEFA Europa League.
ERT has renewed its right to broadcast the best UEFA Champions League match each Wednesday, as well as highlights coverage of each matchweek on NET. This award of rights includes coverage of the UEFA Champions League final and the UEFA Super Cup.
Pay television operator Nova has acquired the remaining UEFA Champions League live matches and will broadcast six fixtures each matchnight, including the best Tuesday match on the novasports branded family of channels. New for the 2012-15 rights cycle, Nova will broadcast live coverage – co-exclusively with ERT – of the UEFA Champions League final. Nova will also ensure extensive matchnight and matchweek highlights coverage throughout the season.
In addition, Nova was awarded the right to broadcast live coverage of all matches of the UEFA Europa League except the first pick of the matchweek. Showing five live games each kick-off slot, Nova will allow Greek football fans to enjoy an increased choice of matches. Nova will also show highlights programmes each matchnight.
All above-mentioned rights have been granted on a platform-neutral basis, with the rights being broadcast via television, mobile and online – on ert.gr and novasports.gr respectively.
UEFA would like to thank valued rights holder MEGA CHANNEL for its continued commitment to the UEFA Champions League. Further announcements regarding the sale of the remaining 2012-15 UEFA Europa League media rights will be made shortly.
