OTE and NOVA have agreed a wholesale agreement for the cross-supply of their sports channels.
Previously Cosmote Sport and Novasports were only available exclusively to the subscribers of their respective platforms.
In means that Cosmote TV subscribers will now be able to view the previous Nova exclusive Basketball Euroleague, in return they’ll be able to access the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League competitions from the start of the new season.
In a statement the Deutsche Telekom-backed OTE said: “The initiative offers not only convenience to consumers but also the combined sports content in an affordable price.
The agreement will be an effective policy against piracy, which distorts the Pay-TV market, the content providers and revenues of the Greek State and is anticipated to drive the growth of the total pay-TV market.”
Cosmote has a subscriber base of 577,000, while for Nova the figure is 432,000.
