Tricolor did not dare to abandon sports channels
Tricolor TV will return Red Media sports channels (owned by Gazprom-Media) to the list of channels it broadcasts, including, as far as one can assume, MATCH! Football and MATCH Premier.
The press service of the Russian satellite operator Tricolor TV said: “We confirm that agreements between Tricolor and Gazprom Media have been reached. All details will be announced later.
This is written by the Russian state. RIA Novosti agency. The agency melancholy notes: Red Media includes premium sports packages MATCH! Football and MATCH Premier, as well as channels of various thematic orientations of the holding's own production and a number of other manufacturers.
Earlier, the Gazprom-Media holding announced that it had terminated the contract with Tricolor from February 1, 2021. The media holding reported that since February 1, by the decision of Tricolor, its subscribers have lost the opportunity to watch all TV channels from the distribution package of the Red Media television company, which is part of the holding. Gazprom-Media claims that Tricolor in an ultimatum order demanded from Red Media to revise the commercial part of the current contract on unacceptable terms, without accepting the counter proposals of Red Media. End of quote.
On our own, we note that Tricolor TV has been experiencing what appears to be a decline in recent years, after it canceled its policy of “public TV channels for free forever” (implementing which it gained a subscriber base), and endless paid exchanges of receivers produced by a related Tricolor by GS, to which the operator pushed its subscribers, caused dissatisfaction with these same subscribers, who began to refuse the services of the largest Russian satellite operator. As far as one can understand, Tricolor's maneuvers to stop broadcasting a number of popular TV channels are connected with the above-mentioned decline.
