NTV Plus extends Euroleague coverage deal

Russian pay-television broadcaster NTV Plus has extended a rights deal for the Euroleague Basketball European club tournament.

The renewed agreement will run until the end of the 2015-16 season.

Under the deal, which was brokered by the IMG Events & Media agency, NTV Plus will produce all home games for the three Russian teams in the Euroleague – CSKA Moscow, Khimki Moscow Region and Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar.

When no Russian team is competing, NTV Plus will broadcast at least one game per week, and the broadcaster will show all of the 2016 Final Four games.
