Abstract. Media coverage
of sport from the perspective of antimonopoly law. Sport constitutes a very
attractive content of TV broadcasting. The interest of viewers/listeners/readers
in following sports events is one of the main motives of media monitoring, which
brings about fierce competition among the media for procurement of the highest
quality content possible and subsequently for gaining the largest possible
number of viewers/readers. The competing media also resort to practices
restricting competition: they conclude agreements restricting competition of
their parties, abuse their dominant position or merge with each other, at the
risk of creating or strengthening their dominant position. The competition
authorities have successfully addressed the competition concerns brought by the
strong wave of concentrations and agreements restricting competition in the TV
sector since the turn of the millennium, without getting in the way of the
application of new technological and commercial procedures.
