Paris (AFP)
The Téléfoot channel of the Mediapro group will continue to broadcast at least until February 3, date of the 23rd day of Ligue 1, while the agreement with the League (LFP) provided for a stop on January 31, said Friday at the 'AFP a source with knowledge of the case.
The scenario of a broadcast that would go beyond this date is not excluded, according to the same source.
The "Classic" between Marseille and Paris SG, February 7, is particularly on the program in the very short term.
The withdrawal agreement negotiated by the Téléfoot channel with the Professional Football League (LFP) provided for an end of broadcasts on January 31.
However, she said she was ready to go further, like other channels that have offered their services on a transitional basis.
This development comes as the LFP awaits offers on February 1 for the repurchase of matches initially purchased by the failing broadcaster Mediapro.
These lots, which represent 80% of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, are on sale for the duration of the current TV rights cycle, i.e. until the end of the 2023-2024 season.
Canal +, favorite for the reassignment of rights, has brought an appeal before the Paris Commercial Court to challenge the legal lever used by the League.
