    DAZN

    * has been receivable in Germany since 2016.

  • Since then it has overtaken

    Sky

    * in a hurry, now the

    is waiting for the

    streaming provider.

    TV channels

    .

Munich - In the

Bundesliga

* and in the Champions League there has always been competition between the top clubs, but there is also

bitter competition

on a side stage of the football

cosmos

.

The main

concern

among

the major

sports channels

is to acquire the most popular television rights possible and to reach the largest possible audience.

One

streaming provider is

currently one step ahead - the broadcaster now seems to want to take another decisive step to expand its market leader position.

DAZN: Market leader outstripped Sky - now the provider is taking the next giant step

The streaming giant

DAZN

has been receivable in Germany since 2016 and has since made a name for itself as a versatile provider, holding

numerous

transmission rights

* in the most popular sports

for the German-speaking countries

.

These include the rights to the Bundesliga, the Champions League * and the American National Football League (NFL), which is also very popular in Germany.

The station was the former leader Sky

far behind

and the customers which offers a wide

range

, also Sky customers have access to their subscription deeper into their pockets.

However, DAZN subscribers can

only

access

the content

online

, which may have deterred older customers.

At least

two channels

,

DAZN 1

and

DAZN 2, will

appear to be

coming

soon

, which will be received via cable, satellite, digital terrestrial antenna reception, mobile television, IPTV and the Internet.

According to information from the

digitalfernsehen.de

portal

, the broadcaster is said to have already

applied

to the Berlin-Brandenburg media authority for approval of the new programs

.

DAZN starts attack: the Cartel Office ruling regulates the Bundesliga on TV - the biggest Sky advantage will probably be lost

So far, DAZN has only provided the two channels

DAZN 1 Bar HD

and

DAZN 2 Bar HD

for hotel and sports bars

, sports fans can now

look forward

to

two more channels

.

With this step, DAZN can look forward to further potential customers, competitor

Sky

should not like that at all.

Another aspect could

cause

the Sky officials

discomfort

.

According to a ruling by the Cartel Office that regulates the allocation of TV rights, live Bundesliga * games must not

disappear

from

linear television

without exception

.

This has been the great advantage of Sky so far, but DAZN has now followed suit with its new

TV channels

and is fueling the competition again.
