Suspect they've also landed the rights to Eredivisie. I wonder if they have landed any domestic action? The rights to both the Scottish Cup and Scotland International friendlies are up for grabs.

Noticed they've snapped up rights to the NBA, NFL and UFC in other European territories. I'm sure Sky's deal for NFL Monday Night Football just expired and BT's deal for UFC has less than 12 months to run. I think there might be some surprises on the horizon.

Remember the speculation as to whether Eleven would launch any sports channels of their own following their acquisition of various sports rights? Well, there are reports today that they have won Serie A rights for the UK, will announce more content soon, and will make two channels available from August via either an annual or pay monthly subscription.

As it is now strongly implied that they intend to be available on Sky by August, I wonder if they will also be added to VM??

The only way I can see this going is available in lower tier packages like Eurosport , I just can't see that many subscribing as a standalone sub.

Tricky one isn’t it, they wouldn’t get too many standalone subscribers at the moment as you say but having bought the rights they must have a plan that isn’t just giving them away for free surely

The need substantial content to go as a standalone sub IMO.

wonder why they are holding back on announcing further rights

anyway, at this stage I'm more concerned with how I can find my serie a and what it will cost me

I know what you mean - however Premier Sports is run by Irish and based in same building as Setanta was so is highly likely to be owned by a re-incarnation.

But, Eleven Sports may also be (in which case PS may disappear?)

Probably because they haven't acquired any more:confused:
