As it gets set to broadcast the English Premier League soccer in Australia, No. 2 telco Singtel-Optus will renew its contract with subscription television provider Fetch TV.
Optus has long been one of the biggest distributors of Fetch TV and both companies are due to sign a fresh five-year deal in the coming weeks.
Allen Lew, Optus CEO, had previously told Fairfax Media that he was keeping his options open. But asked again this week he said Fetch TV now has his backing.
“Fetch is our partner in TV and we’ll definitely get [the problem] nutted out long before the season starts,” Lew said.
