BT CEO 'open-minded' on BT Sport options, including a sale

Thu, 13th May 2021 08:43

LONDON, May 13 (Reuters) - BT CEO Philip Jansen said
on Thursday he was "open-minded" on options for its BT Sports
unit, after the Premier League struck a deal with broadcasters
including BT to roll over soccer rights.

"It's very possible we make no changes at all, because BT
Sport now has a very clear profile and we're happy with it," he
told reporters.

"It's possible that we do some sort of partnership or joint
venture, and of course it is possible that we don't end up with
BT Sport because there's a better owner of it who can invest
more than we will invest.

"But I think it's too early to call that right now."
