Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
This is a matter which is becoming more and more worrying two months before the resumption of Ligue 1. The French championship does not have a broadcaster and the clubs are having difficulty establishing a precise budget for next season. , and therefore to anticipate their Mercato in particular. The puzzle is now known. On the one hand, a plan A dreamed of by the League with a 100% Ligue 1 channel built by BeIN Sports in association with Canal Plus. On the other, a plan B with very uncertain prospects for a channel built by the League and broadcast by as many internet service providers and platforms as possible.
Canal Plus does not intend to invest at all
The hope, to avoid a fiasco, therefore remains this famous plan A. Except that it is based on a helping hand from Canal Plus which has no intention of giving any! According to the Team, and despite good relations with BeIN Sports, the encrypted channel has no intention of investing in Ligue 1, having already devoted its resources to the rights to the European Cups, F1, the Top 14, but also agreements with platforms (Apple TV +, Max, Paramount…). If Canal Plus broadcasts Ligue 1, it will only be as a content aggregator, not being opposed to the idea of retransmitting a channel built 100% by another player. But Canal will therefore not put a euro into negotiations with the League. The impasse is total…
To sum up
The Ligue 1 TV rights file continues to get more and more bogged down. With Canal Plus refusing to take on the role of savior. Indeed, the encrypted channel has no intention of investing with BeIN Sports in Ligue 1.
