Sad News 11 JioStar Channels going to Shutdown w.e.f 15th March 2025

[iDJ]

Just like they can shutdown most watched music channels

Don't reply. We are mad. We refuse to watch same match in 10 different languages on 10 different channels. They are indirectly catering to regionalism. I remember when India had one Neo Sports and one Sony Max. No one cried for regional commentary. Don't know how we went backward. This is why IPL is not popular as it was use to. We invest in everything but entertainment.

what do you use to stream comedy central? there's showing jiohotstar icon in right side

and hey, where is shiv, can I talk to him?

Sorry bro, it is against the forum rules to share anything that isn't legal.

It's legally available on JioTV.

Isn't possible that paramount launch their channel separately in india ??
MTV can be a pure music channel and many other sisters channel like mtv beats and mtv classic....
Vh1 comedy Central???
As I can see their are many people who did not want to loose these channels means there are fan following of these channels

Nope...Paramount Global is already in partnership with Jiostar for its Indian Distribution...Launching a separate channel would require them to cut off their partnership with JIOSTAR which, they definitely won't

It's legally available on JioTV.

But I don't have JioTV bro. So for me, it's illegal.

There was a time when commentary used to be in English only, DD national used to telecast Indian matches in Hindi , long before Neo only ESPN and star sports were the only 2 sports channels but they never tried for Hindi or other regional language commentary, Disney+ hotstar has been crazy regarding regional language sports channels, I still believe in multilingual audio feeds than separate channel for each language

It's gone.

Not only this...Nowadays the quality of commentary has also gone down compared to past days....What is the use of launching tons of regional sports channel then?
Not like they air any regional sports tournament or whatever....Just the same cricket matches again and again along with a bit of football and kabaddi...That too highlights only

to all those saying star sports regional is bad , how do you expect the broadcaster to recoup the money .?
All the sarcasms is good but to what extent.
The reason behind shutdown of Comedy central is different and VH1 is different .
VH1 has been shutdown in many countries outside US, Remember VH1 India content is subscribed by Jiostar and not provided by VH1.
The actual subscribers of VH1 is unofficially just in thousands not even in lakhs . ( alacarte subscribers)
Comedy central is being discontinued as a shift of the IP from Paramount to jiostar . Jiostar sees no value in continuing unrelated brand and paying it just for IP .
