Guest of the Ecorama program, Frédéric Duval was kind enough to talk about the acquisition of the broadcasting rights for French football, but the general manager of Amazon France closed his mind when it came to addressing the issue of subscription prices. He promises an answer this week, which seems to be the least of things given the sporting calendar which will accelerate in France.
« The purchase of TV rights to football is a big hit for our customers, because for three years we have 80% of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 (…) Whether we are interested in films, series or sport, we have to be able to find what we are looking for on Amazon Prime Video (…) The question is not whether we have made a good deal or not, but how we will interest the French in Ligue 1 , but for the moment profitability is not a question (…) 10 million subscribers? I cannot confirm these figures, we have 220 million subscribers worldwide, that’s all I can say (…) The price? It will be unveiled this week, today it is 5.99 euros per month. The point that attracts the most attention from our teams is that everything is ready for July 24 for Ligue 2 (…) Wait until this week to find out more “, Repeated Frédéric Duval several times, aware of the expectation aroused by all this and the importance for Amazon not to miss a year after the Mediapro fiasco.
