Silvio Berlusconi's Mediaset alleges it has taken a tough hit with the loss of TV viewers because of the match fixing scandal this past summer in Serie A that saw top club Italian Juventus being relegated to Serie B.
The company says it had a 15 percent drop in price from TV rights in Serie A and a 52 percent increase for second-tier Serie B because of the relegation of Juventus. It also claims it had a17.5 percent drop in Serie A season ticket sales.
According to reports, Mediaset has taken legal action against Italy's football league over the dropping cost of its Serie A highlights rights.
Mediaset is thought to be paying approximately EUR 61.7 million a year for highlights rights.
