On Monday, Clube dos 13 received access to the first survey of Brazilian Championship pay-per-view package buyers. Flamengo, Corinthians, and São Paulo top the survey.

Rubro-Negro, in first place, had 13,84%, Timão, in second with 9,77%, and Tricolor Paulista is third with 9,21%. These figures will be used as a reference for distributing PPV quotas to clubs starting in January 2009.

"For the first time, clubs will have tools to better reach their fans and increase pay-per-view (PPV) revenue. This is an extraordinary advancement, as fans will know that by purchasing broadcast packages, they are directly supporting their favorite teams," said Fábio Koff, president of Clube dos 13.

Under the new contract signed with TV (2009-2011), there will be a new survey in June. Based on this survey, the quotas will be distributed among the clubs.
