Inter TV channel claim, that it hasn’t signed a deal with National Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (NTCU) for buying sublicense on Olympics translations because of nonobservance of time limits and prescribed conditions by national broadcaster.

According to Serhiy Sozanovsky, chairman of board at Inter, NTCU has changed prescribed conditions many times and has tried to put new contract clauses.

NTCU representatives refused to comment on current issue.

Inter was to pay UAH 8,725 mln. (about $1,7 mln.) for the sublicense. The license cost “Pershiy Nazional`niy” (“First National”) TV channel only $0,9 mln., so if NTCU had sold sublicense to Inter, it would have gain $0,8 mln.
