Cablenet and Primetel join forces for joint football coverage

The two platforms are to share their sports content

Good news for football fans in Cyprus as subscription channels Cablenet and Primetel agreed to join forces and show their sports content on a joint platform, to offer viewers the best package available.

Their main objective is to bring together Cyprus football league games under one roof, providing subscribers of either platform the chance to watch sports events broadcast by the other provider.

The deal will be implemented at the beginning of 2019, allowing viewers to follow the live games of seven local clubs - Omonia, APOEL, AEK Larnaca, Anorthosis, Paphos FC, Karmiotissa and Ermis Aradippou - live on ten different sports channels.

Subscribers will also have the chance to follow some of Europe’s big leagues such as Spain’s La Liga, the French Ligue 1 and the German Bundesliga.

Primetel and Cablenet’s shared platform will also broadcast games from the top European Basketball tournaments.

Viewers will have the opportunity to watch their favourite teams through the Live Streaming service of the platforms and other sports programmes. The agreement is also to benefit businesses like pubs, cafes or restaurants who screen games, as they will be able to have access to the content offered by Primetel and Cablenet under a single subscription, thus simplifying the our subscribers on both sides, with upgraded TV content at affordable prices for all.”

The other main competitor in the sector is Ctyavision which has the rights to show the other Cypriot clubs and the English Premier League.
