摘要：Television rights in professional football in most European countries has, and still is, perhaps the most important and vital source of revenue for the professional football clubs. Much conversation and legislation was made to discuss, agree and regulate the ownership of the clubs’ tv rights. This study examines the opinion of the higher management of the professional soccer clubs on the ownership of the clubs’ tv rights. According to the results, most of the managers replied that the tv rights of the home games should belong to the clubs’ league and the country’s football association owns the rights. Also, they argue that the games gain value as part of the championship and if the games were carried out as individual events they would not have the same value. Finally the majority of the managers believe that the tv viewers face the championship as a single product.
