Axel Springer expands reach of online Bundesliga clips service

Newspaper publisher Axel Springer has sealed carriage deals with the Mobilcom-debitel and Klarmobil telecommunications companies for online highlights clips of the Bundesliga, the top football division in Germany.

The two services will carry the BildPlus and Bundesliga bei Bild services from the start of the 2014-15 season.

Clips will be available on mobile and tablet devices.

The lengths of the deals were not disclosed, but Axel Springer’s deal to show highlights clips of the Bundesliga will run until the end of the 2016-17 season.

Clips will be shown on a pay-per-view basis from an hour after the end of every game, before becoming free at midnight.
