Media Notes: Ziggo Renews Formula 1 Broadcast Rights Through '21

Dutch cable operator Ziggo renewed its broadcast rights for Formula 1 through '21. In addition to the races and qualification rounds, Ziggo will show the free training on Ziggo Sport "in the coming year." F1 will also remain part of the Ziggo Sport Totaal package available on other networks. The service "counts around 500,000 subscribers," Ziggo said. Next season, Ziggo and FIA will launch the new F1 TV Pro app in the Dutch market (TELECOMPAPER, 11/13).

WSC Sports will create and distribute video highlights of UEFA matches across Bleacher Report's digital properties via an extended partnership with the WarnerMedia-owned company. Using its machine learning platform, WSC will "automatically create video highlights of key plays, players and games based on guidelines set by Bleacher Report." The videos will be delivered in real time on Bleacher Report, Bleacher Report Live, its app and social channels. The new relationship will cover the Champions League and the Europa League (THE WRAP, 11/13).
