TV2 Sport has agreed a new three-year, NKr20 million (€2.3 million/$3 million) deal running from 2009-10 to 2011-12.
It is paying about Nkr1 million a year in rights fees and the rest in production costs, the same as Sport N, owned by pan-regional media conglomerate Modern Times Group, are paying at present.
TV2 Sport said that its bid was successful because it offered better distribution. TV2 will show live coverage on TV2 Sport, with a weekly highlights show going out on free-to-air channel TV2 Zebra.
