The Premier League will come in HD for the customers of Canal Digital

Online, August 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Near the end of 2009, the media giant Canal Plus was outbid by a company called Medge Consulting for the rights to broadcast the Premier League in Scandinavia. Traditionally all the Premier League's games were broadcasted on Canal+, but since the company did not managed to buy the rights for the next 3 seasons this comes as a bad news to all the football fans in the Nordic region.

However, Canal Digital, which is one of the largest TV providers in Scandinavia, started signing contracts with different TV channels, which had bought the rights to broadcast the Premier League. For the Canal Digital customer is Norway, the Premier League will be broadcasted on TV2 over the next 3 years. Other good news is that the broadcast will come in HD for both satellite and cable TV subscribers. Although, there were some accusations that the deal was brokered by Medge Consulting, TV2 created 24 hour channel, which will be broadcasted 7 days a week and it will offer video materials and games only from the Premier League plus some added features.

The Canal Digital customers in Denmark will be able to watch the Premier League games on Kanal 6and in Finland on Canal+. Despite the fact that Canal Plus did not managed to buy the rights to broadcast the Premier League, there will be a large number of sporting events broadcasted on the Canal+ channels such as the Bundesliga and Carling Cup.

Despite the fact that there were many people thinking to use other services instead of those offered by Canal Digital, the company managed to provide satisfaction to its customers. The only issue at the moment is the broadcast of the Premier League in Sweden, because the rights were given to Viasat. However, the 2 companies are already negotiating and pretty soon they will find a solution that will be suitable for both sides.
