Bosnian OBN wins major sports rights

The Chellomedia-backed Bosnian FTA channel OBN has secured the rights to the Champions League for the next three seasons.

This follows a competitive bid in which it won the exclusive first pick of Wednesday might matches and the highlights, semi-finals and final.

Chellomedia acquired a 40% stake in Sarajevo-based OBN last year and added it to its existing portfolio of 13 channels.

OBN was founded by the Office of the High Representative (OHR) and EU in 1996 and became privately owned four years later, when it was acquired by Ivan Caleta.
