Posted at 17/4/2012 18:37 by che7win Trading UpdatePRNW Tuesday 17 April, 2012 Trading Update - UTV Media plc talkSPORT Secures Barclays Premier League Global Audio Rights UTV Media plc ("UTV" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that talkSPORT has agreed a deal with the Premier League for an exclusive package of international audio broadcasting rights for the next four football seasons (the "Agreement"). The deal will see talkSPORT become a global audio partner of the Premier League and broadcast commentary outside Europe on all 380 Barclays Premier League games in multiple languages, including English, Spanish and Mandarin in what is the biggest development for the station since its launch. From August 2012, sports fans outside Europe will have access to a new global audio service from talkSPORT offering unparalleled access to Premier League football, alongside other relevant sports audio, with distribution via the internet and mobile apps. talkSPORT also intends to establish a network of global radio partners in markets such as Asia, North America and Africa. talkSPORT is already an official broadcaster of the Barclays Premier League in the UK, broadcasting 64 games a season. talkSPORT is already in discussions with a number of potential commercial and distribution partners for the international output. Launched in 2000, talkSPORT is the world's largest dedicated sports radio station with an audience of over 3.2 million adults and was named Sony Radio Academy Station of the Year in 2011. Production of the international output will come from expanded studios at talkSPORT's existing premises in London and the station will also increase its editorial and commercial teams. UTV will use its New Media division, primarily through Tibus and Simply Zesty, to assist in the delivery of the project by providing digital marketing and technical expertise. The project will also be supported by appropriate investment from UTV, with set up and pre-launch costs expected to be in the region of £0.8 million. The Agreement is expected to result in the service making a loss in the first year of operation of approximately £1.0m, with breakeven expected in the second year and the service is expected to be profitable thereafter. Scott Taunton, Chief Executive, talkSPORT said: "This is a huge development for talkSPORT which builds on the significant progress the station has made in the UK in recent years. I'm really excited about the potential for talkSPORT as a global brand, invoking the same passion in listeners and advertisers overseas as it does in the UK. We'll be expanding our London office studio and production space and I can't wait to see the buzz on matchdays." John McCann, Group Chief Executive, UTV Media plc said: "Since UTV acquired talkSPORT in 2005, we have invested significantly in sports rights and presenters to successfully reposition talkSPORT as the brand leader for sports audio content in the UK. "Today's agreement with the Premier League is part of UTV's strategy to market talkSPORT globally. We look forward to building on talkSPORT's reputation for quality sports content with international audiences and advertisers alike, backed up by UTV's expertise in global digital delivery." Premier League Chief Executive, Richard Scudamore, said: "We are extremely pleased to enter into a new international agreement with talkSPORT and welcome them as our new global audio rights partner. "talkSPORT currently offers excellent Barclays Premier League radio commentary coverage in the UK and we look forward to that being available to millions of fans across the globe with English, Spanish and Mandarin broadcasts in territories outside of Europe for four seasons from 2012/13. "As we're seeing in the closing stages of this season the Barclays Premier League is a compelling competition and radio rights are important to ensuring that as many fans as possible can follow the League and their club." -Ends- For further information contact: Maitland Tom Buchanan/Rowan Brown +44 (0) 20 7379 5151 UTV Media plc John McCann Group Chief Executive +44 (0) 28 9026 2202 Norman McKeown Group Finance Director +44 (0) 28 9026 2098 Orla McKibbin Head of Communications +44 (0) 28 9026 2188 |

Posted at 05/3/2012 08:54 by crawford UTV Signs New Network Agreement with ITV Plc Share this article PrintAlert TIDMUTV 5 March 2012 UTV Media plc ("UTV" or the "Company") UTV Signs New Network Arrangements With ITV PLC UTV Media plc is pleased to announce that its Television division, UTV Limited has signed new network arrangements for the provision of Channel 3 programmes and services with ITV plc, subject to regulatory approval. The Network Affiliate Agreement (NAA) proposed by UTV and ITV plc to replace the current Networking Arrangements (NWA) wouldretain the essence of the NWA - a common coordinated pan-UK service capable of competing effectively with other national services - but has an updated structure which is consistent with the broadcasting, new media, technological and regulatory realities of Channel 3 today. The new affiliate relationship between ITV plc and UTV would reflect the reality of ITV's role and responsibility as the principal driving force behind the Channel 3 schedule in terms of funding, acquisition and scheduling of content. UTV, as an affiliate of ITV plc, would purchase programme rights to the network schedule for an agreed fixed fee at the commencement date of the NAA. ITV plc will assume full responsibility for the actual costs of the network schedule. Further agreements in relation to the distribution of UTV channels on various platforms, new media programme rights, and a new national sales agreement with ITV plc have also been agreed, subject to the NAA receiving regulatory approval: * A New Media Rights Agreement - grants UTV access to all ITV 1 programming for use on the UTV Player in Northern Ireland. * An Operational Agreement - will ensure the distribution of UTV HD on Sky and freesat in Northern Ireland as well as the current service on Virgin and when digital switchover takes place in October 2012 on Freeview. * A new Sales Agreement means ITV plc will continue to handle UTV's national advertising sales. If the new NAA is approved by Ofcom, these new agreements would run until the end of the current UTV licence in 2014 and any future licences awarded to UTV until 2024. John McCann, Chief Executive of UTV, commented: "We are delighted to agree new terms with ITV plc for the future provision of programming, transmission and sales services to UTV as the Channel 3 licence holder in Northern Ireland. "The proposed new agreements retain the strength offered by the original Channel 3 regional partnerships in the ITV Network but provide the flexibility required for public service broadcasters to operate more effectively in today's market on all platforms. "UTV is totally committed to providing Northern Ireland with quality public service programming in the future as we have for more than 50 years." Adam Crozier, Chief Executive of ITV plc, said: "We look forward to continuing our positive relationship with UTV under a new affiliate agreement. This agreement, which is still subject to regulatory approval, represents a major milestone for us as it consolidates and simplifies the ITV Network." Michael Wilson, Managing Director, UTV Television said: "UTV is by far the most watched channel in Northern Ireland, delivering the best of ITV network programming with high quality news, current affairs and diverse regional programmes which reflect a modern Northern Ireland which is core to the channel's success. "We are especially pleased to plan the launch of UTV HD on both Sky and DTT by the end of this year, to complement the existing UTV HD service available to Virgin customers in Northern Ireland." -Ends- For further information contact: UTV Media plc Michael Wilson Managing Director, Television +44 (0) 28 9026 2053 Orla McKibbin Head of Communications +44 (0) 28 9026 2188 Maitland PR Tom Buchanan / Rowan Brown +44 (0) 20 7379 5151 END |
