Myanmar’s SkyNet television has agreed
to buy TV rights for English Premier League (EPL) matches for 25 million
pound (US$40 million), a British tabloid newspaper reported.
According to a November 23 article of
Daily Mail, the money earns SkyNet EPL rights to telecast the EPL
football matches for three seasons starting from 2013-2014. Each
football season has 380 matches.
Some football analysts suggested that
the overall value of Premier League TV rights could top 5 billion pound
($8 billion) for the three seasons beginning in 2013-14.
The elite England football league is very popular in many Asian countries like elsewhere in the world.
Myanmar spent only 200,000 pounds for TV rights of the EPL in the past.
The SkyNet fans are likely to pay increased charges for watching the games.
Forever Group has already got broadcast
rights for the EPL matches and is telecasting the EPL games through MRTV
and its related channels.
