On July 1st Atresmedia launched Mega, a new DDT general interest channel for a male viewers aged between 25 and 45. An agreement signed with Mediapro has meant the early closure of Gol TV, a DTT sports channel which would have closed at the end of the year, thus allowing Atresmedia to pick up that frequency.
On August 1st Mediapro, partnering with the Al Jazeera group, will launch Qatar’s sports TV channel beIN Sports. It will be broadcast on pay-TV platforms including TotalChannel and will be available in preview and free to Gol TV subscribers as from July 1st. It should broadcast the Champions League, the Europa League, Ligue 1 and other international football competitions. Gol TV will continue to broadcast on the OTT platform (Over The Top)..
