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

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.

"However they choose to watch, our customers will have all the defining moments from the Premier League at their fingertips for years to come."

The Sun and The Times have previously had the rights. The Murdoch Sky/News UK connection means both will still offer near-live clips to subscribers as Sky takes over.
