Neuer TV-Vertrag der BBL ab 2011/12 (Seite 1)

heinnews hat ein interessantes Interview mit Jan Pommer geführt.

Darin kommen auch die Verhandlungen zum kommenden TV-Vertrag zur Sprache. Diese sollen innerhalb des kommenden halben Jahres zum Abschluss geführt werden. Ziel sind ein besserer Vertrag als bisher und mehr TV-Übertragungen. Außerdem steht noch in dieser Saison das Ziel, mehr bewegte Bilder aus den Hallen im Internet zu zeigen:

heinnews: What is the next goal – or other mid-term goals – along the way to the big goal for 2020?

Pommer: We have to make sure that we expand our Social Media area. We are doing well but there is room to improve. We want to act on our own part that we have more moving pictures from the 18 clubs and the league available for the fans. There is an extremely large interest in that regard. That will be one of our main tasks in the coming months. We will also fight that we have a better television contract and present more basketball. Those are the goals for this season.

heinnews: Last question is regarding the television contract. What is the latest on the television negotiations and when do you hope to have something in place for after the current deal ends at the end of this season?

Pommer: The start of talks will be next week. I don’t want to say when we will finish the talks. But we want to have the impression that we have negotiated the best-possible contract. Of course I want to have something in place within the next half year and it doesn’t drag out too long.
