The NFL and DirecTV reached a multiyear deal extending the company’s exclusive rights to carry NFL Sunday Ticket and its package of Sunday afternoon out-of-market games, said the firm in a news release Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1ueg5le). The deal expands DirecTV’s rights to stream Sunday Ticket on mobile devices and over broadband. Under AT&T’s planned buy of DirecTV, the telco could have walked away from the deal if the NFL Sunday Ticket package wasn’t renewed, AT&T has said in SEC filings (CD May 20 p1).
