TWI’s director of programming and production, sport Graham Fry
added, "Our relationship with the Premier League has been ongoing
for the past six years. The Barclays Premiership continues to be
a global success and together with the FA Premier League, TWI is
confident that we will be able to achieve even greater heights in
building its popularity and profile worldwide over the next three
years."

English Premier League is broadcast in over 160 countries with a
global home reach in excess of 570 million, making it the world’s
most watched domestic league competition.
"To ensure that we consolidate and develop this position,
it is crucial the quality of production matches the quality of our
competition, especially given the increase in the number of games
available. We have every confidence that our continuing relationship

the high standards our international broadcast partners have come
to expect will carry on and improve."
