Yahoo has taken over from Virgin as the owners of the UK Internet clip rights in a three-season multi-million pound deal from 2010 to 2013. This means that football fans who want to watch highlights of the Barclays Premier League Football matches that involve teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham, on the Internet can now do so on Yahoo’s highlight service.
Furthermore, Yahoo also own the rights to syndicate all or part of the Premier League highlight content to third parties in the United Kingdom. Already, the global Internet firm has attracted video advertising form multi-national corporations such as Adidas, Heineken, BT and Sony Pictures. It is hoped that these clips will attract not only advertisers but football supporters and followers to use the Website even more.
Fans can expect to watch football clips from top-flight weekend games online after midnight on Monday morning while midweek matches can be viewed on the Internet  shortly after midnight the next day.
Talking Point
Do you ever watch sport highlights on the Internet?
That is nice, Yahoo will provide better Internet clip, than Virgin. I am looking forward for this highlights as soon as of the Barclays Premier League matches started.
Virgin didn’t have much traffic compared to yahoo, so this is good for the internet user who is more likely to know and find his way around Yahoo than Virgin, and its good for the premier league.
Thank goodness for football. I plan to reference this in my blog and provide a link to here.
I would definitely say that this is a win for any football (soccer) fan out there
nice website. thumbs up!
Yeah gr8 post..Thank keep updating.
I find myself visiting to your internet site simply as you have several intellectual views and you have a few posts like Watch Top Flight Football Highlights for Free , which is really invigorating and suggests you have some thoughts on this. There is no smoke without fire and in that respect there are no remarks without postings.
I Love your website. I’m gonna post a link on my Twitter Page!
Yahoo is doing much better than Virgin.
This was a good move for Yahoo, they have to fight hard to stay important in such a competitive market.
But still props to Virgin, they are not afraid to try anything. One of the most interesting and innovative companies around.
Sorry for writing a comment with just the keyword, I used the autofill-in form option for the name. Didn’t realize it was being so spammy.
Virgin really is!
Just check their internet visibility. Go to Google.com and just search virgin.
First page is filled with only virgin businesses.
Virgin airlines, music, trains, holidays, mobile contracts etc.
Yes. I do watch football highlights on the internet. Watching the highlights over again gives me a positive energy.
Yahoo tend to provide people more search resulsts than do as a search engine. To some extent,it is good because if you like shopping then just go to yahoo shopping and no need to google to search for online store.
This is a good move by Yahoo. I can no watch the games by Arsenal team. Arsenal is my favorite football team.
Chelsea is my favorite team, I can’t wait their match with Arsenal. I would be a very competitive game.
My brother and father are huge soccer fans (both support UK teams as well), I need to see if they’ve heard of this! I watch sports highlights online if I can’t catch them on Sportscenter. I watched a great fight during an NFL game last night, lol.
This is great news for any soccer fans. I’m guessing this just makes access to highlights easier for fans. Has to be a good thing.
