Juve Back On In UK!!! (4 Viewers)

[Gep]

Serie A back on terrestrial TV! Tuesday 12 June, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans in Britain will be able to see Serie A action on terrestrial television next season after Channel Five picked up the TV rights.

Reports in Italy made the claim this morning and the news seems to have been confirmed this afternoon.

Production will be carried out by Sunset+Vine, a subsidiary of Tinopolis, who already provide Five with their cricket package.

Ron Jones, the executive chairman of Tinopolis, said: "The main deal is for a highlights programme – although Five do have the rights for live matches as well.”

Serie A football was first shown on UK television in 1992 when Channel 4 made their move following Paul Gascoigne’s switch to Lazio.

The coverage moved to British Eurosport in 2002, before Bravo and Setanta agreed a joint deal in 2005.

Bravo dropped their coverage at the end of 2006, though, due to a lack of decent audience figures.

For all the Swedes:

TV4 have bought the rights to all Juventus, Milan, Inter, Lazios, Romas (I think) home games. They will be shown in TV4 sport, and la liga will continue on TV4+. Canal + got the away games of all Serie A teams.

Will sure suck when Inter and Juventus play at the same time.

I'm also hopping that one of the Macedonian terrestrial broadcasters will buy the TV rights for Seria A, so I can watch a proper football match.

As long as that anti-Juve Romanista shit head James Richardson isn't there, I don't really mind watching it on C5.

Dude absolutely, the desserts and such are hilarious!

And he is so smug with his little puns on the newspaper stories - class. Takes me back, I loved Gazzetta for years, best hour of the week!

Serie A will be aired on Fox Soccer Channel in the United States, with the channel having the rights to all the matches (I think).

Thanks for the news Gep!
I hope they realise that the reason for falling audiences during 2006/7 season was that they had stopped showing Juve matches.

I thought he was an interesti.

Of course they realise darling! Even i didnt watch any of the serie A matches this season. Just knew the scores from time to time. Didnt suprise me one bit when Bravo stopped showing the live matches earlier in the season.

Thank you Channel 5.

Hopefully they'll show plenty of Juve games then!
