-
ADM and DMI to provide two matches per week
exclusively through Abu Dhabi TV Network -
Abu Dhabi Media, one of the
fastest growing, multi-platform media and entertainment organizations in the
Middle East, today announced that Abu Dhabi Sports and Dubai Sports channels
will be broadcasting the Arabian Gulf Pro League’s matches starting September
14th, with two matches per week to broadcast through the Abu Dhabi
TV Network, which will carry the encrypted AGPL channels of Abu Dhabi Media
(ADM) and Dubai Media incorporated (DMI).
Commissioned by the Pro-League Committee (PLC), the
encryption agreement reflects the League’s development over the past six years,
further aligning its broadcast with international standards of professional
leagues. It will also enable ADM and DMI to continue providing football fans
with quality content through various traditional and digital platforms.
The Arabian Gulf Pro-League, formerly known as the UAE
Pro-League, will see 14 clubs competing with each other throughout the season.
The new partnership means ADM and DMI will provide local and
international viewers with live coverage of free-to-air matches across their
sports channels. In line with PLC’s strategy to promote the League, the
partnership will also enable the Abu Dhabi TV Network to carry both ADM and
DMI’s encrypted AGPL channels; in turn providing fans with two exclusive weekly
matches broadcast in High Definition and Dolby Digital surround sound for the
first time in the region. This arrangement will allow viewers to enjoy
exclusive game analysis from the studio and reports from leading on-the-ground
correspondents, creating a world-class sports viewing experience.
Abu Dhabi Sports channels will cover all PLC competitions,
including Arabian Gulf Pro-League, Reserve League, League Cup and Arabian Gulf
Super Cup, for three consecutive seasons starting September 2013. The
extensive, in-depth coverage provided by ADM also reaffirms its commitment to supporting
the young generation, the sports community and the
football clubs in the UAE.
Following the exclusive broadcast agreement with the PLC, Abu
Dhabi Media has also announced the new Pay-TV packages on Abu Dhabi TV Network
for the 2013-2014 season, with special offers for both new and existing
subscribers.
New subscribers joining the Abu Dhabi TV Network will
receive a free one-year subscription with the decoder box. Existing subscribers
will receive free viewing of the AGPL until the end of the 2013-2014seasons.
In addition to the Arabian Gulf Pro-League, subscribers to
the Abu Dhabi TV Network will have access to 19 channels in High Definition
technology, including Abu Dhabi Sports HD, Abu Dhabi Sports PPV, Star World HD,
Star Movies HD, Nat Geo HD, Nat Geo Adventure HD, and Nat Geo Wild HD, along
with a line-up of other regional HD entertainment and news channels.
Additional information on
subscribing to Abu Dhabi Media’s Pay-TV packages is available on 800 2388 UAE
