Six, Ten 1 ,2, 3 SD/HD are just enough even for overlapping broadcasts.

Buddy, look at catalogue of properties Sony has... They need 4 chs atleast to cover all on tv else one will have no option but to subscribe their OTT platform. Also Sony is even airing excellent sports news, discussions, documentaries. As i have said HD chs can b restricted but not SD

Star can only benefit off that football review show and ESPN Cricinfo out of all current ESPN offering in India. Meanwhile expecting SportsCenter to return.

Biggest benefit is experience ESPN bring in and financial resources or understanding of genre Disney has which will b overall good for us too

I Do agree with you partially bro , but now change has started happening it could help in changing things . thanks to Indian anime fans community who worked hard they made Vkaao to air Anime movies through petition several movies now Vkaao promotes them in their social media pages , apart from it they also made anime in hindi dubbing possible with help of Indian hindi voice artists professionals - netflix finally acknowledged fans demand and they started dubbing anime in hindi , they even dubbed ghibli anime movies and their other movies. So Animax can put faith in indian anime fans and relaunch in India with better promotion. as proven by vkaao they managed biggest box office for anime movie in india in theatres.

Not all channels failed , Turner's CN india channel although airs repeat episode of oggy and cockroaches its intl animated series thanks to it they managed to be in BARC ratings in 3rd position and Even Disney manages to come in barc ratings always thanks to aring Doraemon wehich is intl fav kids anime series . kids do love good animated series if given proper exposure to. even Sonic acknowledges the fact and nick that's why they still air Ninja hattori which is another intl kids series , shaun the sheep and though power ranger's popularity not same as earlier they still air them. they do know ninja hattori's loyal fan base thats why nick still retain the show. Hungama TV shinchan kids anime series still popular among kids.

Shinchan, Doraemon etc r not in same league as anime aired on Animax, both r supported on different models and have distinct viewer base. The kind of anime u r talking about has to b subscription supported revenue model in India, OTT can afford to do at lower price point it but TV chs cannot bcoz of huge cost required in running them. What u can request broadcasters or OTT platforms is to start a service channel for anime on diff DTH/MSO which can serve purpose of all concerned quite well

Exactly, Animax had 1% anime that appealed kids. Rest 99% were different genres which were never for kids like Violence, Romance, Horror etc.
Anime rights are very costly compared to cartoons or intl shows. I don't think any DTH/ MSO from India can afford rates. Better supporting Muse Asia, Ani-One Asia on You Tube is best solution for anime fans in India. Also supporting anime movies in theatres and giving them good response will benefit Indian anime community...

Well most anime audience base can afford OTT. Regarding launching service chs on DTH or MSO, these do not require operators buying rights as content owner enters subscription revenue sharing agreement with them

They should have a separate channel for UFC and other MMA events that will be good
