SkyNet Wins Premier League Rights in Myanmar

LONDON: SkyNet has secured the live broadcast rights for all matches of the Barclays Premier League for the 2013-14 through 2015-16 seasons in Myanmar.

This marks the first time Burmese football fans will have the chance to watch an entire swath of EPL matches—all 380 games per season.

Richard Scudamore, Premier League chief executive, said: "We are extremely pleased that SkyNet has chosen to invest in the Premier League and welcome them as a new broadcast partner.

"We look forward to developing a strong working relationship with them as they showcase the Barclays Premier League to our fans in Myanmar."

Daw Myint Myint Win, SkyNet’s managing director, added: "Football is the key driver for SkyNet and the acquisition of the BPL rights is the culmination of SkyNet’s comprehensive football offering.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity of working with the BPL to develop its popularity in Myanmar. This was the first time the BPL rights were offered to the territory of Myanmar on a standalone basis and, despite intense competition from international companies, SkyNet is delighted to be able to offer the world’s most-followed football league to its viewers."
