The calendar pointed to January 27, 2023, when at one of the meetings of Super League 1, in the midst of full-scale action, the issue of centralized management of television rights again came to the fore. As it turned out later, the discussion was just a reminder to the small PAE organizing committee that in the summer that had just begun, many of them were left without a television roof.

After all, they knew that it was impossible to implement the project of a joint course of all 14, since the PAE Olympiacos and Aris have valid contracts until the summer of 2025, even if theoretically these two can enter the central administration after the termination of their contracts. .

In addition, the dynamism of large groups and their ability to negotiate the best conditions for them is the most limiting factor for small groups in achieving their goal.

Approximately 20 days after the end of the 2022-2023 season, discussions on the TV card for 2023-2024 are in full swing and two TV providers (Cosmote, Nova) currently support the big three (AEK, Panathinaikos, PAOK). ) that are “free”.

The Greek twins, who signed a two-year deal with Cosmote in the summer of 2021, have reportedly received a tempting offer from a competitor after this year’s exchange rate, while Nova continues its aggressive market moves to make up for lost ground and cast its nets at Panathinaikos. whose agreement with Cosmote is also expiring. The rivalry between them extends to PAOK, but in the opposite direction. Two-Headed North had a two-year contract with Novaya, and Cosmote turned to him to fill the void in case he suffered losses on the AEK-PAO front.

So far, four PAEs have completed their supplier agreements. OFI, Panaitolikos, Lamia and Volos just a few days ago extended their stay with Cosmote for another two years, with whom Olympiacos also has a two-year contract. According to the information, in the terms of the agreement of the first four there is also a provision for a possible centralized management, based on the relative desire of the teams.

Apart from AEK, Panathinaikos and PAOK, the three teams (Asteras Tripoli, PAS Ioannina and Atromitos) that have been on the Nova platform so far are free to negotiate with the channel of their choice, while Aris is “tied” to Nova until 2024 -2024 Season 25

Both Nova and Kosmote have lost a team as Levadeiakos and Ionikos have been relegated respectively and are betting to replace them with Panserraikos and either Kifisia or Kallithea who are vying for promotion from Super League 2 Group 2.
