In addition, it earns income from broadcasting, distributing live matches and highlights itself and through outside partners, holding rights tied to the Premier League and European club competitions, and airing its own programming through the MUTV channel. It also manages property interests, including facilities it owns, leases, or holds investment stakes in.
