FilmOn.com Inc, one of the largest Internet-based high-definition television service, said it has created the world's first premium linear TV soccer channel for the Internet, 'Football Anytime.'

FilmOn.com has licensed content from leading football match producers like the Premiership and the Football Association, IMG and other premium content providers.

Football Anytime will feature the best of Club and International football from soccer's oldest institutions.

The soccer channel has been launched even as the free FilmOn iPad/iPod Player is still scoring big in the European iTunes Charts, said a company statement.

'This is the first deal of its type for us,' said Pitch International spokesman Dave Seckington. 'As the market leader we feel FilmOn is the right partner for us to venture out into the brave new world of Internet TV distribution.'

'We are very excited about adding Football Anytime to our lineup,' said FilmOn founder and CEO Alki David.

'It is only right that the beautiful game plays out on our beautiful platform, whilst our iPod/iPad App continues to score big in the European App Charts,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service
