Sky Deutschland

Starting this week, Sky will broadcast up to ten Europa League and Conference League matches per matchday in Germany as individual games or in a conference. The broadcasts use the live feed from Sky Österreich because the RTL Group holds the media rights for Germany and production processes were consolidated. For matches between German and Austrian teams, Canal+ in Austria can assert first-choice rights, so not all fixtures will air on Sky; RTL or Nitro will show selected games free-to-air. The arrangement applies only for this season; afterwards the rights for both competitions will be with DAZN. » Mais em finanzen.net

After RTL Group took over the pay-TV broadcaster, Sky will show up to ten Europa League and Conference League games per matchday in Germany but will use the live production from Sky Österreich rather than the RTL feed. The reason is the complex rights packages: Sky Österreich holds different rights in part, so productions from Austria are also used in Germany, including familiar German commentators and Austrian reporters. When German and Austrian clubs face each other, Canal+ often has first pick in Austria, so those matches may not be available in both markets depending on selections. The arrangement applies only for this season; from 2026/27 the rights go to DAZN and later to Paramount. » Mais em finanzen.net

RTL Group reports higher H1 revenue of €2.9 billion and an EBITA of €239 million, supported by a profitable streaming business and Sky Deutschland, which was integrated on June 1.

The streaming result is now estimated at around €100 million instead of €25–50 million and is expected to offset the declining linear TV advertising business. » Mais em finanzen.net

The Landgericht München I has ordered Sky to make its cancellation button compliant with the law, after the company had already lost in three instances over misleading presentation of cancellation options. On its website Sky offered two buttons – “Abo beenden” led to the legally required form, while “Infos zur Kündigung” contained only information about phone and chat and did not point to the form. Verbraucherzentrale Nordrhein-Westfalen criticises that Sky long hid the actual cancellation button on the page, making cancellations harder. » Mais em golem.de
