Al Jazeera and CanalSat Agree beIN Sport Deal

Al Jazeera’s new French sports channels will be carried by CanalSat after the two parties agreed a deal.

After weeks of negotiations, herbal CanalSat is now offering beIN Sport 1, case which launched on June 1. BeIN Sport 2 will be available from July. The channels will cost €11 (US $14) per month.

Al Jazeera launched the channels after winning the rights to broadcast French Ligue 1 and Champions League football.

Last month, police raided the office of the head of beIN Sport, Charles Biétry, because Canal Plus made a complaint accusing the broadcaster of malpractices in poaching Canal Plus staff.
