MTG prolongs golf rights


MTG announces that it has reached an agreement to extend its exclusive rights to
the PGA European tour, the Ryder Cup, The World Golf Championships, the British
Open Championship, the US PGA Championship, the LPGA and the Asian Tour in the
Nordics and the Baltics until the end of 2018.
The extension of these rights means that MTG’s Viasat Golf, the only dedicated
golf channel in Northern Europe, and Viaplay, MTG’s online streaming service,
will continue to show more than 1200 live hours/year of the most exciting golf
available.

MTG has also agreed to acquire the exclusive rights for the Wimbledon grand slam
tennis tournament for Denmark, also until the end of 2018.

All rights are being acquired through IMG Nordic.

 “I am delighted to announce the extension of the exclusive rights to show these
key golf tournaments. We have saved our dedicated golf fans from the risk of
boredom and we have once again delivered on our promise of offering the very
best sports content to our subscribers.”

Jørgen Madsen Lindemann, MTG President and CEO
