Adjust font size:
Finnish broadcaster Nelonen announced it will not renew its Champions League broadcasting rights agreement with UEFA, citing dwindling ratings.
The move ends six years of ties between the network and the Champions League. The decision means the 17 May match between Spanish Barcelona and English Arsenal will be the last Champions League game broadcast by Nelonen.
Jorma Paakkari, the chief executive of Nelonen, said ratings had declined below 200,000 from an initial 300,000.
