Sports broadcaster Sport1 has acquired exclusive free-to-air rights in Germany for the inaugural European Games.
The multi-sport event takes place in Baku, Azerbaijan from June 12 to June 28 and Sport1 will provide a minimum of 45 hours coverage across television, internet, radio and mobile platforms, with the majority being broadcast live.
The opening and closing ceremonies will be shown live in addition to various highlights packages.
Sport1 will also broadcast the event free-to-air in Austria and Switzerland, with an additional 20 hours across its pay-television channels.
The deal means Germany, Austria and Switzerland join Turkey, Romania, Hungary and Belgium in already confirming broadcast commitments for the Games.
Charlie Wijeratna, commercial director of Baku 2015, said: “Sport1’s scheduling commitment and enthusiasm makes it a great platform for distribution in these three territories.”
