Telefonica launches 'Screen Fusion' connected TV set

2015-12-03 15:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telefonica has announced the launch of an exclusive smart TV called 'Screen Fusion' in a bid to persuade customers to sign up to the Movistar+ pay-TV offer. The company's plans to give away TVs with access to Movistar+ were first revealed by Telefonica Spain CEO Luis Gilperez Miguel in September. At the time Gilperez said the TV would be free as long as customers continued subscribing to a Movistar+ contract. However, Telefonica has now announced that only new subscribers to the Movistar Fusion+ 300Mbps fibre service will be given a free 32-inch connected TV set, with a 40-inch set also available for EUR 120. Existing Fusion+ 300Mbps fibre subscribers will have to pay EUR 50 for the 32-inch set or EUR 170 for the 40-inch version.

Spanish football rights awarded to Mediapro, Telefonica

2015-12-03 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Spain's top-tier La Liga football league has announced the results of its auction for rights to broadcast La Liga matches over the next three seasons, awarding the packages to Mediapro for EUR 1.90 billion and Telefonica's DTS unit for EUR 750 million. In what was the first UK-style collective auction for live TV rights, Telefonica lost the exclusive rights to broadcast La Liga from 2016/17 to 2018/19. Its package gives it the right to screen just one exclusive game per match day, albeit the top game, plus a second division game. Mediapro, on the other hand, won the exclusive rights to screen eight La Liga games on pay-TV channels, plus all the games of the Spanish domestic cup competition (Copa del Rey) except the semi-finals and final.
