The Premier League is pleased to announce that Econet Media has acquired the package of free-to-air broadcasting rights that it makes available in sub-Saharan Africa. The agreement is for the three seasons 2016/17–2018/19 and Econet, through its Kwese Sports platform, will make available one Saturday afternoon Premier League match live on a free-to-air basis each weekend of the season. The matches, along with weekly preview and review shows, will be available in 50 countries across the region. "We are very pleased that Econet Media has chosen to invest in the package of free-to-air broadcasting rights that we have made available in sub-Saharan Africa," Premier League Executive Chairman, Richard Scudamore, said. "Premier League clubs enjoy passionate support across sub-Saharan Africa and these rights are important to ensuring that as many fans as possible can follow and enjoy our competition. "Premier League's international rights deals 2016-2019 >> Econet Media CEO Joseph Hundah said: "England’s Premier League is a globally prestigious sporting competition, one that is deeply loved by millions of African sports fans.

TPAND: Many of these large multinational SA companies are owned by corporations and individuals of German, American, British, Jewish, Indian and Dutch origin and therefore have a system of organisation and inflow of capital. Unlike our politically overexposed, government dependent entrepreneurs, who depend on the government of the day for market manipulation and favouritism. This was the reason the Tatcher and Regan were not willing to sanction SA due to their string interests. Econet have a different story, but what part the Zim government have in it's success in the absence of European overbearance I don't know 4 Likes 1 Share |

Before we get too excited they said they would make available one match on Saturday to air free of cost. NTA has been doing that for donkey years and I think AIT & ONMAX do the same. It won't affect DSTV in any way. 6 Likes |
