Fox focuses on Italy with sports play
Joseph O’Halloran | 19-06-2013
Just as it is getting used to its new corporate identity as 21st century Fox, the former News Corp is looking to tap into sports-mad Italy with a new pay-TV offering from FOX International Channels (FIC).
The international pay-TV unit is set to launch in August 2013 offering FOX Sports content for which its European interests are providing huge revenue streams. Specifically it will broadcast football from the English Premier League, La Liga from Spain, French Ligue Un and the English FA Cup alongside a slate of signature news and sports talk shows.
“Our goal is to bring all the passion of FOX Sports to the most passionate sports fans around the world,” explained Hernan Lopez, president and CEO of FIC. “And in this ranking, Italy comes high up on the list.”
FIC has embarked upon a strategy of expanding into sports, and this plan has seen over the past two years launches of FOX Sports in Brazil and Japan, the acquisition of a majority stake in Eredivisie Live in the Netherlands and the conversion of Star-ESPN to FOX Sports throughout South East Asia. In 2010 FOX Sports had 17 million households outside of the United States and this now stands at over 64 million subscribers.
