SOCCER fans keen on catching the Champions League games
at home in September will have to fork out more for a new sports
package on SingTel's mio TV.
The telco giant has tweaked its pay-TV sports package to launch
an all-in-one pack that bundles ESPN Star Sports, mio Stadium and
Goal TV channels with broadcasts of the Champions League games.
Champions League broadcasts were previously offered free to
subscribers who had signed up for mio's other soccer channels, but
that offer has expired.
The new package is priced at $34.90. The Straits Times
understands that this is up from previous sports packages, some of
which cost $26.90, with the cost depending on the range of
channels.
Those who sign up for the new package before Aug 11 will snag it
at the early-bird offer of $29.90.
A spokesman for SingTel said the new package was a way of
offering its customers more variety and choice. She noted that
previously, mio offered a selection of channel options with
differing price points, but now, the most popular channels have
been bundled as one.
