Portugal competition body probes Sport TV ownership change [Global Data Point]


(Global Data Point Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Portugal's Competition Authority has decided to launch a thorough investigation into the transfer of 50 percent of Sport TV from Controlinveste Media to Portugal Telecom and Zon Multimedia, according to a statement on the regulator's website. Portugal Telecom will have 25 percent of Sport TV, Zon another 25 percent, and Olivedesportos the remaining 50 percent. Olivedesportos will provide the football TV rights for Sport TV.



The Competition Authority has doubts about the operation's effects on the market for broadcasting rights for premium sports content, the market for conditional access channels with premium sports content and the markets for premium sports content for internet and mobile markets.
