Saran snaps up Rio Games rights in Turkey

The Saran Media agency has acquired rights in Turkey for the 2016 summer Olympic Games.

The rights were acquired in a sublicensing deal with Fox Turkey, which acquired the rights in 2008.

The agreement, which covers the opening and closing ceremonies as well as sporting action, includes exclusive rights across all television, internet, mobile and IPTV platforms.

Last November, the Fox International Channels broadcast subsidiary of media company 21st Century Fox combined FIC Turkey and Fox Turkey into a single operational business unit.
