JumpTV took the Cotton Bowl around the world on New Year's Day. A streaming concern based in Orlando, Fla., JumpTV's sports division scored a deal with Fox Sports to distribute the Cotton Bowl internationally. JumpTV announced the arrangement in the days before the Jan. l game.
The 72nd AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic was made available online to credit-card wielding broadband subscribers in England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Middle East, Hong Kong and China and everywhere else outside of the United States with the exception of certain Latin American countries, according to JumpTV. It went for $19.95 in U.S. dollars, or about 13.5 euro.
Rights issues prevented online distribution in several Caribbean Island nations and some areas of Central and South America. It was also not streamed in the United States.
