GolTV Brings Viewers Face to Face With The Unsurpassed Skill and Excitement of Italian Soccer

MIAMI, June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- GolTV, the only channel dedicated 100 percent to soccer in the U.S., announced today that it has once again signed an exclusive multi-year agreement to broadcast the Italian Soccer League. The renewal to broadcast the top Italian teams Milan, Inter, Juventus and Roma (among others) constitutes another milestone and coup for GolTV in a sports broadcasting industry that is becoming increasingly competitive.

"Italy is quite simply one of the world's most successful soccer nations on earth. Only seven countries have won the World Cup Championship since it began in 1930, and Italy has taken that honor three times only second to Brazil, which has won on five occasions. I, who lived and played in the Calcio, know firsthand the thrill that Italian soccer play in action can bring to the fan," said Enzo Francescoli, GolTV Founder and CEO.

"Regardless of the country or origin of the fan, the high-quality play that is a staple of this league is simply of vital importance to any soccer programming line-up. The exclusive licensing agreement allows us -- GolTV -- to continue to bring our fans some of the best soccer in the world," added Constantino Voulgaris, VP of Programming.

Beyond this important renewal, this year, GolTV also landed the exclusive rights to the Brazilian Soccer League and continues to hold rights to other important leagues in the sport, including Spain.

Nowhere else will viewers have the must-not-miss opportunity to see some of the most celebrated payers of the sport, such as Ronaldinho, Beckham, Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, Eto'o, Forlan, Riquelme, Fernando Torres, Robinho, Totti, Maldini, Schevchenko, Del Piero and Adriano, firsthand, live, doing what they do best.

This, coupled with the airing of other important matches, tournaments, and quality original programming, are some of the reasons why GolTV is experiencing such explosive growth and why the channel is slated to reach the 10 million subscribers mark by year's end, making it the fastest growing independent channel in the industry.
