Vol 3 Chapter 702: Fighting for broadcasting rights
June 22.
Zhuke left Los Angeles on a private transfer and flew to London, England.
On the plane, Zhuke said: "Ms. Donna, what do you think is the chance of our UPN TV network winning the broadcast rights of the Champions League?"
Hearing that, as the president of Zhu Ke's TV group, Donna Langlei did not answer immediately, but fell into thought.
To be honest, she was surprised!
Last night, Zhu Ke suddenly called her, saying that she would participate in the competition for the broadcast rights of the Champions League in the 2003 season. She was extremely surprised when she received the call.
Why?
Throughout the Premier League and the Champions League, the TV stations that have always been able to obtain broadcast rights, except for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which is Sky TV.
The strength of these two TV stations is undoubtedly very strong.
Together with France TV 4 and Germany's satellite TV, they are collectively known as "Europe's four major pay TV stations."
Among them, the BBC is the most powerful!
It is not only one of the four major pay TV stations in Europe, but also the largest public TV station in Europe. In terms of scale, volume, history, revenue, etc., even the British independent who has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with Zucker The television station (ITV) is also inferior.
"Ms. Donna, what do you think is the chance of our UPN TV network winning the UEFA Champions League broadcast rights?"
Zhuke asked again.
Donna Langlei smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Boss, the opportunity you mentioned is only theoretically possible."
No way~
Who made the BBC and Sky TV so powerful? !
Hearing that, instead of worrying, Zhu Ke said with joy: "In other words, from a legal point of view, it is legal for us to participate in the competition for broadcasting rights."
"Uh?"
Ms. Donna was taken aback, and immediately reacted and said: "Boss, you are right. But, I still want to say that our chance of winning the broadcast rights of the Champions League is theoretically possible."
At this moment, Zhuke smiled and didn't say much.
Theoretically possible?
Without any certainty, is Zhu Ke leaving the United States in a hurry and letting go of the opportunity to make a lot of money from the WorldCom incident? !
.......
Time advances by a few hours...
Yesterday, in the evening.
Zhuke crossed over, and the golden finger system that had been silent for a long time appeared again.
[Congratulations to the host for a piece of future news. 】
The content is as follows:
On November 24, 2002, Sky Sports, a subsidiary of Sky TV, combined with the British Independent Television (ITV) to defeat strong competitors such as the BBC and British Channel 4, and obtained the rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League in the UK.
The agreement stipulates:
Independent TV, broadcasting the two games on Tuesday;
Sky Sports will broadcast the two matches on Wednesday;
Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, Sky Sports has taken over the broadcasting rights of the Premier League.
The first Sky TV broadcast agreement for the Premier League is 5 seasons, totaling 191 million pounds;
For the second contract, a total of 4 seasons, the broadcast fee increased to 670 million pounds;
The third contract is £1.1 billion!
Time from August 2001, a total of three seasons.
"Sky TV is really rich!"
"However, if I were to be replaced, I would definitely be willing to pay the money. The Premier League’s broadcast agreement prices have been higher each time, but it does make money! As far as I know, Sky Sports has made at least $3 billion in money. ."
Zhu Ke muttered to himself.
Is the broadcast fee of 1.1 billion pounds a lot?
Ha ha!
As a traverser, Zhu Ke knows a lot more than anyone else. Not to mention that the three seasons that took effect in August 2001 have been broadcasting 1.1 billion US dollars. The cost of the re-signed transfer agreement in 2018 is also 3. In one season, the price was as high as 5.3 billion euros, which is a full 4 billion euros converted into pounds.
As the signatory and buyer, Sky Sports will lose money?
of course not!
In the 2018~2019 season alone, Sky Sports has a full account of tens of billions of pounds, and a net profit of more than 3.7 billion pounds.
In a word, it makes a lot of money, and it is a big profit.
"Oh~"
Zhu Ke suddenly sighed: "It's a pity~ In 2001, I also wanted to participate in the broadcast rights competition of the Premier League. However, the UPN television network under my name is very strong in the United States, but in the UK and the European market. , But it is the role of a younger brother!"
It's just nowhere else, this is reality.
Zhu Keming knows that it can make a lot of money, but it is not strong enough to compete with Sky Sports and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
however......
"Competing for the broadcast rights of the Premier League, I have failed... But it is very possible to fight for the broadcast rights of the Champions League!"
In terms of strength in the United Kingdom and Europe, Zhu Ke’s UPN TV network is indeed inferior to Sky Sports and the British Broadcasting Corporation, but now that one year has passed, UPN TV’s overseas strength has achieved remarkable results. The growth is almost one change per day.
Zhu Ke has the heart to fight hard!
"This time... the system is awesome."
Zhu Ke has always hoped that his TV group can grow into a global media giant, whether it is the WB TV network as a public TV station or the UPN TV network as a pay TV station~www.wuxiaspot.com~Zhu Ke has sent it to him. High hopes.
After several years of unremitting efforts, coupled with open-ended plagiarism, the most important thing is to sprinkle a large sum of US dollars, which adds up to more than 400 million US dollars, second only to the cost of expanding overseas film distribution channels.
Up to now, WB Television Network has established a firm foothold in the UK and Europe, and maintains a considerable degree of cooperation with the UK Independent Television (ITV).
Of course, the current overseas profitability is a bit poor.
The tuition should be paid, but from the current situation, by around 2003, the WB TV network overseas will be able to be self-sufficient and no longer need financial support from the head office. If it develops smoothly, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Look at the UPN TV network again?
Hey~~
It's hard to say!
UPN TV network has never been able to successfully establish a foothold in the European and British markets, and its brand influence is slightly lacking!
No, or it's far from it.
"However, as long as the broadcast rights of the Champions League can be won this time, let alone how much money is made, the increase in brand influence alone will be enough to make all the efforts paid in return!"
The information provided by the system this time not only includes the content of the agreement reached a few months later, but also contains some secret information.
Why did Sky Sports abandon the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and instead unite with the British Independent Television (ITV)?
What's in it?
"I know now, this is where I am sure!"
Zhuke could not help clenching his fists severely.
Making money always keeps Zhu Ke's vigor and fighting spirit, but the successful creation of a global media giant is full of sense of accomplishment!
The second update of "" was sent, and the author continued to open the code.
