Good news for French basketball fans. The National Basketball League sent an email this Friday afternoon to the managers of the French Championship clubs to announce that an agreement had been reached with the Chaine l'Équipe to continue to broadcast the Sunday evening poster. The summit duel between Asvel and Paris Basketball will therefore be accessible to as many people as possible in clear format.
On the other hand, all the other matches of the day scheduled for this weekend will not be visible. Instead, subscribers to the Skweek digital platform will be treated to a black screen.
Discussions are continuing between the various stakeholders in this matter to find a solution quickly.
Since the start of the season, and as revealed by Le Parisien, Skweek, owned by FedCom Media, a branch of the multinational FedCom whose owner is businessman Alexeï Fedorychev, has accumulated unpaid debts and late payments to numerous partners. Among them: L'Équipe, which produces matches for the French Championship via its company 21 Prod, or even IMG for the Euroleague. But also the Asvel club, of which he is one of the main sponsors. The damage amounts to several million euros.
