“Today marks a significant day as beIN SPORTS is now able to deliver the best in world-class sports to a new segment of fans on over-the-air television, where all that is required for access is an antenna to start watching LIVE events for free. We’re thrilled to be the first network to air advertiser-friendly live sports 24/7 on broadcast channels to nearly 7 million households. This milestone furthers our mission to deliver the highest quality sports content to the most viewers possible, regardless of platform,” said Antonio Briceño, beIN SPORTS Deputy Managing Director for North America.
This distribution deal builds upon beIN SPORTS’ media sales partnership with Azteca America, announced earlier this year.
