BBC Secures Wimbledon Broadcast Rights For Next 5 Years
The BBC has secured exclusive broadcasting rights to the Wimbledon tennis tournament for the next five years, it emerged today. The BBC’s association with the tournament goes back 60 years, and the deal ensures that this relationship will continue.
The BBC recently lost some of its exclusive sports rights to Channel 4 (see Newsline) and Talk Radio (see Newsline), and the securing of Wimbledon rights with the All England Club is a boost for the Corporation. Chief executive of BBC Broadcast Will Wyatt said that the deal was a clear recognition of the Corporation’s capability to broadcast live sport.
