BT, Rupert Murdoch's Papers Win U.K. Rights To Champions League Clips

BT and Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers "will both be able to show short online clips of Champions League football action" beginning in '15, according to Keith Weir of REUTERS. Commercial broadcaster ITV "has bought the rights to show more extensive match highlights, providing some consolation for losing its contract to show live matches." The three-year agreements "cover both the Champions League and the less prestigious Europa League, mainstays of the broadcast schedules for much of the year." These new contracts are the first time that UEFA has sold the rights to brief video clips separately, "illustrating growing online demand for the format." The clips "can amount to up to three minutes out of the 90 minutes of a game" (REUTERS, 11/22).
