Eurosport embroiled in Ukrainian dispute
11.15 Europe/London, January 6, 2012 By Chris Dziadul
A dispute between Eurosport and the leading Ukrainian cable operator Volia shows no signs of coming to an end.
According to Mediasat, the sports channel has refuted allegations by Volia that it is substantially increasing its fees and that a contract between the two parties is expiring.
In the latter case, Eurosport says that the agreement is valid until 2013.
Eurosport is also reported to have filed a lawsuit against Volia related to sports events that the channel plans to broadcast in Ukraine this year.
The dispute between Volia and Eurosport first came to light in December, when the operator announced that it would stop distributing Eurosport and Eurosport 2 from the beginning of this
month.
