No hope for Sky: Mediaset has no intention of negotiating, now or ever, to allow other televisions to broadcast the matches in Italy Champions League 2015-18. The Biscione specifies it in a note published today, denying some rumors circulated in recent days.
"No negotiations are underway - writes the Cologno Monzese group - for sub-transfer agreements to other broadcasters of the TV rights of the Champions League acquired exclusively by Mediaset for the three-year period 2015-2018. Negotiations that will not open either now or in the next few months".
Mediaset also reiterates that, “for the next three years, a Wednesday night match will be broadcast exclusively by Channel 5, while all the other meetings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays will be an absolute exclusive of Mediaset Premium until 2018”.
Meanwhile, in the early afternoon, the company's share on the Stock Exchange dropped about one percentage point, to 3,616 euros, after gaining 2% yesterday in the wake of rumors according to which the company - through the dealership Publitalia '80 – would have increased the price of advertising space by 2% until Easter. A decision taken in the light of forecasts of an improvement in overall audiences and a recovery in advertising investments.
