Sky Sports secures rights to 'near-live' Premier League clips for mobile

Sky Sports has snapped up the rights to show ‘near-live’ clips from Premier League matches from the season after next.

These near-live clips will be available on mobile and via social networks and apps. Expect clips of all the major incidents from matches throughout the day, including goals, of course.

Sky Sports MD Barney Francis said that this will mean that the broadcaster will be able to offer the best coverage across a variety of platforms. “Sky Sports is the home of the Premier League and this will allow us to offer our customers even more content across mobile and online,” he said.
