StarTimes denies winding-up order over USD 11 mln debt to BeIN

Wednesday 3 March 2021 | 09:38 CET | News
StarTimes says it is not subject to any winding-up court order, following a petition filed in a Hong Kong court against it by sports and entertainment network BeIN Media Group, CommunicationsWeek reported. Sports market intelligence platform GlobalData reported in February that StarTimes had signed a deal in 2018 with BeIN Media Group, which holds international Ligue 1 rights from 2018-19 to 2023-24, to broadcast English and local language Ligue 1 in sub-Saharan Africa. The pay-TV operator is reported to owe BeIN USD 11 million now, including interest.
