Seventeen of the twenty clubs supported this offer. Serie A “has been exploring the creation of a media platform” to distribute matches to other TV channels “as well as the launch of a subscription service for home videos”. Turin’s president, Urbano Cairo, stated: “To create a Serie A TV channel now. . . it would have meant adding an additional threat to a threatening activity like football” (REUTERS, 10/23).
