wins Premier League rights
Following
today's announcement by the Premier League that the 大象传媒 has won
the rights to show highlights of matches from next year, Peter Salmon,
Director of 大象传媒 Sport, said:
"We
are delighted to have won back the rights to the Premier League
Highlights on Saturday and Sunday night.
"Match
of The Day has been a successful part of the 大象传媒 TV landscape over
many years.
"We
have missed the highlights programme, and it feels like we are welcoming
back an old and much loved friend.
"Since
we lost the rights, licence fee payers have been asking us when
they will be coming back, and we hope that football fans will be
pleased that they have returned to the 大象传媒.
"Our
football team are looking forward to working on them, and delivering
viewers a quality programme.
"I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the football team at
the 大象传媒, who helped contribute to the Premier League's decision
to award us the rights.
"From
Football Focus, Grandstand, Final Score, Radio Five Live and Online,
the 大象传媒 will now be able to provide one of the most comprehensive
football services.
"This
marks the climax of a fantastic summer, and a formidable year for
大象传媒 Sport.
"Next
year will be great for sports fans across the UK, with the FA Cup,
Six Nations, Wimbledon, Euro 2004, the Olympics, and now the Premier
League highlights all available on 大象传媒.
"This
is a good day for 大象传媒 Sport, and a good day for free to air audiences.
"This
gives viewers the best sport output from the 大象传媒 for a generation.
"It
feels that all our hard work since the Sydney Olympics has really
paid off, and that 大象传媒 Sport is re-invigorated and back where it
should be."
All the
大象传媒's digital services are now available on ,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable. Freeview
