This is about broadcasting:
The La Liga broadcasting crisis caused by Spain's two major broadcasters is still continuing. among. In the second round of La Liga, Chinese audiences saw Villarreal's home game against Real Madrid, but this does not mean that they can still watch Real Madrid's game in the third round. It is reported that the Spanish Mediapro company that provides La Liga overseas broadcast signals owns Sevilla, Valencia, Villarreal, Levante, Zaragoza, Bilbao, Santander and Murcia. The home broadcast rights of each club, so until the crisis is resolved, only when Real Madrid and Barcelona are guests, La Liga fans outside Spain can watch the live broadcast of the games of these two giants.
In the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Almeria at home, and Barcelona played against Osasuna away. The broadcast rights of both games are in the hands of Audiovisual Sports Group. As long as the company does not give Mediapro company provides the signal, so fans outside Spain will not be able to see the live TV broadcasts of the two giants. Fortunately, the Spanish Professional Football League has realized the seriousness of the problem. As the owner and management body of La Liga, they are not willing to see Mediapro and Audiovisual Sports Group continue to fight, because not only will the two major groups lose, La Liga's image will also be severely damaged.
The professional league has put pressure on the two major broadcasters, requiring them to reach an agreement before the start of this round of league games so that all fans around the world who want to watch La Liga games can watch the games. The professional league hopes that both sides will return to the model of last season, that is, in each round of La Liga, one game will be broadcast on the public channel, one game will be broadcast on Canal+ TV station, and the other 8 games will be broadcast on the paid channel. The professional league warned that if the two major broadcasters do not reach an agreement, the professional league may broadcast the game itself and provide signals to foreign TV stations. Because as the owner of the league, the professional league has the right to take measures to ensure the correct operation of La Liga. In terms of commercial development, the Spanish Professional Football League has complete autonomy. They have the right to develop, produce and sell their own products. TV broadcasts and sponsors are also decided by the professional league itself. Professional leagues also have great management rights in formulating schedules and providing game signals.
The Professional League also announced that it will hold a meeting with representatives from each club on Friday. If Mediapro and the Audiovisual Sports Group have not reached an agreement by then, the meeting will discuss specific measures to deal with the broadcast crisis. The league is very likely to broadcast the game itself. Although this involves a series of thorny contract issues, for the sake of La Liga's image and the interests of the fans, the professional league must stand up and maintain order.
