The launch of the new sports portal builds on the success of Viasat Broadcasting’s www.onside.dk site, which has become one of the most successful Danish sports portals. The Onside site will be rebranded as www.viasatsport.com. Subscribers to the Viasat ‘Gold’ digital satellite TV package will be offered www.viasatsport.com services at a reduced price. Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and CEO of MTG, commented: “The launch of www.viasatsport.com further builds on Viasat’s position as the number one sports television broadcaster in the Nordic region. It also demonstrates our commitment to utilize all available channels and sports rights, in order to maximise the offering to our customers through as many windows and platforms as possible. “The demand for quality dedicated sports coverage and services is huge and only continues to grow, and we always seek to obtain the Internet rights to the TV broadcasting assets that we secure. Our ambition is to fully leverage our extensive portfolio of sports rights and online properties to create one of the region’s leading sports portals. Combined with our four premium dedicated Viasat Sport channels, we can now offer customers an unrivalled online sports experience and the most complete site in the Nordic market. “This new initiative springs from the creation of our New Media focused group, which is tasked with exploring and capitalising on the MTG Group’s wide range of content and services to maximise our potential and make the most of new opportunities.” For further information, please visit www.mtg.se, email info@mtg.se, or contact: Hans-Holger Albrecht, President & CEO tel: +46 (0) 8 562 000 50 Matthew Hooper, Corporate Communications tel: +44 (0) 20 7321 5010 Modern Times Group is an international entertainment broadcasting group with operations in more than 30 countries around the world.
