Media Notes: Nearly 37 Million Have Watched At Least One El Tri Game This Year

Nearly 37 million viewers in Mexico have watched at least one of the Mexican national football team's 17 games on free-TV this year. Those numbers come from data provided by Nielsen IBOPE México. A total of 22 million fans watched at least one of Mexico's five games during the Confederations Cup in Russia (LA AFICIÓN, 7/18).

21st Century Fox has written to the government urging it to reject the "most blatant form of political interference" by Ed Miliband and Vince Cable in its proposed £11.7B ($15.2B) offer for Sky. In a letter to U.K. Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, the corporation said that she should not "bow to political pressure" or delay any regulatory review of the proposed deal (LONDON TIMES, 7/19).

Man City fans have "been left angered" after effectively being told by the club to subscribe to ManU's in-house channel, MUTV, if they want to watch the Man City-ManU match scheduled for Thursday in Houston. Man City posted a tweet on Wednesday providing options of "where fans can watch the game based on which county they are watching from," but omitted to say where British fans could view the game. It did, however, tell fans based in Ireland that MUTV would be "their only option" (London INDEPENDENT, 7/19).

African pay-TV operator StarTimes acquired exclusive media rights in sub-Saharan Africa for FIBA's national team competitions from '17-21, including the FIBA World Cup 2019 in China, with the exception of free rights in Angola and French pay rights in Francophone on non-exclusive basis. StarTimes serves nearly 10 million subscribers (FIBA).
