Gol, is a Spanish sports television network dedicated fully to football (from 2009) and other sports (from 2016). The channel, created by Mediapro in September 2008, is distributed through cable operators, Internet television,[1] and from August 2009, through digital terrestrial television.

Mediapro's original intention was to broadcast the channel through terrestrial television, opening a slot for pay television, and in 2009 negotiations began with the Government of Spain.[2] On 13 August 2009, an urgent decree approved premium contents on terrestrial television,[3] and Gol Televisión began its broadcasting on 14 August.

History

For the current history, see also es: Gol (canal de televisión)

The channel previously existed as Gol Televisión and was broadcasting from September 19, 2008 until June 30, 2015, when the rental agreement between Mediapro and Atresmedia ended to broadcast in one of its multiplexes. The channel was replaced, already outside the DTT, by beIN Sports thanks to the agreement between Mediapro and Al Jazeera (owner of beIN globally).

Mediapro managed to rent a frequency to return to DTT in Spain after the licensing contest of 2015.

On March 22, 2016, Mediapro announced that it would regain the name of Gol T for its new open channel on DTT.3. During the weeks prior to the presentation of the channel, Mediapro issued a video loop with images of various sports and a text that indicated that soon on that frequency you could enjoy a new sports channel. During this period, the night of April 11 to 12, 2016, the boxing match between Pacquiao and Bradley III was aired.

Finally, on June 1, 2016, the channel's test emissions began, already with the GOL logo (without the 'T'). During the broadcasts in tests, several live competitions were broadcast, including football, tennis, motor, extreme sports, etc.

On June 29, 2016 the Galician operator R Galicia incorporated the signal to channel 80 of its television service, thus being the first operator to have the sports channel.

On August 16, 2016, the operator Movistar + added the signal to channel 62 of its television service, both in satellite, IPTV and Fiber. Subsequently, on November 25, 2016, it incorporated the HD signal of the channel on the same channel, for fiber clients, but not for satellite clients.

On August 17, 2016, operator Vodafone TV incorporated the SD signal into channel 99 of its television service. On November 3, 2016, operator Vodafone TV incorporated the signal in HD 1080i to channel 99 of its television service.
