Mediaset gives Sky control of DTT technical platform

November 6, 2018 11.31 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Italy’s Mediaset has exercised a put option that gives Sky control of the technical platform of its Premium operation.

Il Sole 24 Ore reported the move on Monday in an interview with Mediaset’s managing director Stefano Sala.

It is not the Premium business itself that is being sold to Sky, but the support services through which the platform operates.

Sky will handle the technical, maintenance and administrative assets of the company, completing a process that began in March, when an agreement was reached to carry selected Sky channels on Mediaset Premium with a reciprocal arrangement that has already seen the Mediaset brand appear on Sky, beginning with Canale 5 in September.
