Orange Spain blijft live voetbal aanbieden
Orange Spain blijft volgend seizoen live voetbal aanbieden ondanks zorgen die leven over de dominantie positie van eigenaar Telefonica op de Spaanse markt voor betaal-tv. Dat schrijft althans de lokale publicatie Expansion op basis van uitlatingen van CEO van Orange Spain Laurent Paillassot. 

De topman zei dat indien Telefonica de voetbalrechten heeft, Orange Spain deze ook heeft. Ook zei hij dat dit geen wenselijke situatie is. Telefonica verzekerde vorige maand de rechten voor La Liga van 2019 tot 2022 alsook de rechten op de UEFA Champions League en de UEFA Europa League voor de komende drie seizoenen. De provider legde hiervoor EUR 4 miljard neer. 

Verplichte doorgifte deel premium-kanalen

Orange en Vodafone boden niet meer op de rechten, maar Telefonica is verplicht om concurrenten 50 procent van de content van zijn premium-kanalen door te geven. Hiertoe behoren onder meer La Liga, de Formule 1 en de Moto GP.
