.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?

bro they dont care about the quality they are just launching regional feeds to monetize it they can air adverts in different language and earn money they are just caring about themselves

It will be a good thing because library will definitely moved to someone else.
Sony and & brands will take care of it. Properly.
HBO end didn't changed anything. (Personal opinion).

HBO had the best of the movies which are yet to be found on Indian tv like Troy, Harry potter series, Disturbia, etc they had quality, you will not found those kind of movie anywhere else, Times group is doing good job right now, & channels are decent but sony pix is a disaster, please check their schedule, they dont have movies, they keep repeating, IT, Ghostbusters, wonder women, etc (imo)

Because of no proper management by star they're shutting down both Loss making channels Colors Odia and Star Kiran HD

But they are running sd feed of star Kiran then what the problem in hd feed????

Next will be the english movie channels shutdown, I wonder on which ground star movies select is still surviving , nowadays star movies and star movies select Are airing same movie at 9 PM , movie premieres are lessened, & flix was doing good job but I can observe the repetitiveness on it, some of the hbo library like minority report, vannilla sky...
Never saw the face of indian television again, times used to telecast MI movies while star telecasted then in Hindi but now both of them are avoiding it, English movie channels are at dead end imo

Star Movies, Star Movies Select and Movies Now haven’t rebranded in over a decade. Their graphics packages are pathetically outdated. At least new logo trademarks for Star Movies and SMS were filed in February 2024, and after all these terrible changes at JioStar, I hope they consider rebranding these two channels.

Star Movies, Star Movies Select

What are the plans for star movies select? In 2016 on weekends I used to watch this channel only,it did have some exclusive library, they should just renew that library

No advertisement at Times network. So, end of English Movies can be seen. But till the time TRP data was public, English Movie channels were doing 10 times better than English General Entertainment channels.

They have failed to gain ads for Bond movies even

Very true, MNX HD is the only channel which I still like, they show mostly horror and thriller movies which I find good enough.

Why did they even remove trp data genre wise? what was bad in that? now we will never get to know the channels doing well in each genre, sometimes I get the feeling all this TV industry is run by a bunch of amateurs.
