    talkSPORT extends Global Rights Partnership with Premier League to 2019 
 
UTV Media plc (UTV) is pleased to announce that talkSPORT has extended its 
international partnership with the Premier League for an additional three years 
until 2019. The London-based station has been re-appointed as the Premier 
League's global audio partner to the end of the 2018/19 season, continuing the 
existing four year agreement which was due to expire at the end of the 2015/16 
season. 
 
Scott Taunton, Chief Operating Officer, UTV Media plc said: "In the two years 
since its appointment as the Premier League's global audio partner, talkSPORT 
has established itself as a truly international sports media brand. 
 
"Today's announcement means we can extend talkSPORT into even more markets, as 
well as creating new opportunities for advertisers and sponsors. I'm pleased 
that talkSPORT's ever growing international audience will now be able to look 
forward to listening to our world class live coverage of the Barclays Premier 
League for a further three seasons." 
 
Richard Scudamore, Chief Executive, Premier League said: "talkSPORT has for 
many years produced high quality radio commentary of Barclays Premier League 
matches in the UK, and successfully extended this to an international audience 
when they became our first global audio licensee two seasons ago. 
 
"We are extremely pleased that we will continue this partnership and look 
forward to working with them as they make Barclays Premier League radio 
commentary available in more languages and to more countries around the world." 
 
As with its existing agreement, the extension gives talkSPORT an exclusive 
package of international audio rights to provide official live commentary of 
all 380 Barclays Premier League matches in any language to listeners around the 
world outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland. 
 
The new agreement follows talkSPORT's highest ever listening figures in the UK, 
according to the latest RAJAR figures, with 3.4 million sports fans tuning in 
every week. 
 
talkSPORT is the world's biggest sports radio station and is global audio 
partner of the Premier League. The station is an official broadcaster of the 
Barclays Premier League, the FA Cup, England football internationals and the 
Capital One Cup. talkSPORT is available on 1089/1053AM, on digital radio, on
