James Ciastoń: Strongly you entered the Polish market sports TV. Bought the rights to the Spanish League, Italian, French, Champions League handball and many others, but everywhere you can hear that as you stand Qataris with bein Sports …
Andre Tegner, board member Eleven groups Sports Network – I know the rumors and I know of which may be due to a misunderstanding. Our main shareholder Andrea Radrizzani was until recently a shareholder in the MP Silva, the company intermediary in the sale of a relationship that has repeatedly worked with Bein. But I assure you that Eleven is independent, there is nothing to do with bein. Just repurchased from them the rights to the Spanish League, which Bein purchased as an intermediary.
But when there is information that bein bought the Spanish league, Radrizzani on Twitter enjoyed, as if he won.
– only answered yes to the question, is it true that the Qataris bought the rights. This is another misconception. We are a new television, but do not depend on anyone. We were established in record time in four months and at four markets – Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium and Poland. Each country, however, has a separate editorial team and its broadcasts. We are based in London, our main shareholder is Italian, but we are a global brand, we employ people of many nationalities, it is impossible to us to pigeonhole.
Why Poland?
– You are very large, constantly growing market. The Poles love the sport. Our priority is high quality at an affordable price. We do not deny that we are a thematic channel that can not be offered for free, but we think the price has so far offered on the market were too high, and the best sport was unavailable for all fans. We want this break. We are committed to the widest possible access.
For now, you’re on your own website, as well as offer Netia and Player.pl. What of the biggest players – NC +, Cyfrowy Polsat, UPC, Vectra, other kablówkami?
– Negotiations are ongoing, I can not reveal details. We want to be everywhere. We are open to cooperation with all. We are committed to the democratization of football.
So you imagine that Eleven is and NC + and Cyfrowy Polsat?
– Why not? Each fan should be able to see us.
I understand that you dream of a distribution model that has, for example. Eurosport, which is in almost all kablówkach and platforms?
– In some simplification when it comes to the same distribution, so, although we are quite another station.
Apparently want too much money …
– We offer a good product at an affordable price.
Somehow, to me it does not make business. If you come across in all, the price will have to fall, because the relationship no longer be exclusive. Like when you leave for your?
– We made it folds. Really. Closing of sport exclusively in one or two platforms is one way business and make it available to the greatest number of viewers is the second expensive. And we choose it.
Reports on the internet are free. For when that will be?
– The Internet continues to promote that viewers could see the offer. We do not know when it will end up on our website. On Player.pl is expected to last until the first week of October.
Fans fear that the two channels is not enough to fit in a weekend live all attractive matches league Spanish, Italian, French, Belgian, Scottish … How do you do?
– best league in themselves ensure that, to the best matches they do not overlap too much on yourself. For web platforms will probably be able to show everything, the internet provides such opportunities. We’re working on it. And on television, when he will face such a dilemma, we will choose the most attractive matches of the Polish point of view of the viewer.
Fans ask for the studio to focus on the experts …
– Patrick Mirosławski, our editor in chief, a team of commentators. We want it to be a mix of experienced experts with new faces. Casting is underway. We are looking for young, talented people with positive energy. Matches Polish teams in the Champions League and handball players will have a special setting, the studio on the spot.
What are your future plans? Apparently interesowaliście also the NBA league, Formula 1 …
– soon announce the acquisition of the rights to the next two attractive international sports events. But for now, I can not tell what it was.
