Eurosport Channel
EuroSport Background
EuroSport is the largest European sports satellite and cable network available in 54 countries and broadcasting in 20 different languages. It is owned by the TF1 Group.
Eurosport offers viewers varied sports such as UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup football, the Paris Dakar Rally, Monte Carlo Rally, the Olympics, cycling events such as Le Tour de France, tennis events including the French Open and the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, World Championship Snooker, Australian Football League, wintersports and youth sports like skating and surfing. It also previously screened events such as the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, prior to its termination in the 1998/99 season in favor of changes to the UEFA Champions League.
Eurosport is often provided by cable operators as part of their basic package. The channel is popular, and when NTL replaced Eurosport on their Dublin analogue system with CNBC, there was outrage among the Irish tabloid press. In the UK, British Eurosport launched in 1999, replacing Eurosport International on most platforms and this channel has some schedule changes as well as local commentary.
Eurosport is shown in most countries across Europe, often with the commentary in the local language, but not necessarily local advertising. Most European countries also have domestic sports channels, which are more likely to show premium events than Eurosport.
Currently there are a number of channels that are broadcast under the Eurosport name: Eurosport (France, British, Deutschland, Italia, Poland, Nordic and Asia Pacific), Eurosport 2 (versions for all Eurosport regions except Asia Pacific) and Eurosport News. Sportİtalia is also part of the group.
