Twitter is going to start broadcasting live Barclays English Premier League football clips over its platform this season after it signed a deal with Sky Sports. The deal, announced by Twitter on Wednesday, will allow football fans in the UK and Ireland to watch a selection of goals and moments via the @SkyFootball Twitter account in "real- time". Twitter is making the Premier League clips available through Twitter Amplify, which is a Twitter initiative that unites broadcasters and advertisers and is designed to get high-quality, branded video content directly into people's timelines.
