Plazamedia renews ZDF Champions League deal

Production company Plazamedia has renewed a deal with ZDF to produce the German public-service broadcaster’s coverage of the Uefa Champions League club football competition.

Plazamedia, which initially sealed a deal to produce coverage of the 2012-2013 Champions League campaign for ZDF, has now agreed a two-year extension with the broadcaster, covering the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.

Plazamedia will provide production services for ZDF’s host broadcasting of Wednesday evening Champions League matches in Germany.

“After working together successfully last season, it was a logical and welcome consequence for ZDF to continue the technical production side with our partner Plazamedia in the next two seasons as well,” ZDF head of sport Dieter Gruschwitz said.
