Breaking All IPL matches on Doordarshan

[Sarkar]

Although I'm not a fan of Star, but this dictatorship from the government. IPL is not an event which is of national importance. Private teams are playing and it has nothing to do with national glory. If such a law is made, Star will surely renegotiate the deal and the BCCI will get much less than the expected 55crore per match. It's a loss for everyone. I'm still not sure whether Star will be able to recover the humongous amount they have agreed to pay to BCCI. Sharing the feed to DD will surely force them to shut their shops in India.
I think this move is a brainchild of some stupid politicians who just want cheap popularity at someone else's cost.

Star gets 75% of total DD ad revenue without any operational cost. DD gets only 25%. So not that much issue I think. On top DD freedish users are mostly in rural area where spending capacity is lower so high value big advertising company will not target them . Patanjali may target them but don't expect Maruti, Tata motors, hundai to target them. Their target will be town and city viewer where cable and private DTH has strong presence. And these subscribers cannot watch IPL on DD, they hv to watch on star.

And regarding dictatorship, BCCI is itself a company, not a govt organisation. BCCI players are not chosen by democratic transparent method or by skill. Players are chosen according to wish of BCCI and it's politics with states association which are also private body.

So if BCCI cricket can be broadcast on DD then why not IPL ?

I never go to other country for money loting.
Where is star sports in since 90s?
Dd create big platform for cricket.now star sports claims relovation of sports.

Before 1993 BCCI was a loss making body. Then Jagmohan Dalmiya asked Trans World to produce matches and Star TV to broadcast the 1993 Hero Cup. This made BCCI wipe out the deficit and turn profitable. Cricket started getting real money from broadcaster. Matches became more common and quality of cricketers and commentators improved as money increased. Socialism is good in theory but if we want to make any improvements in our life then calculated risk and the talents and experience from across the world should be acquired. In fact Indians who were trained by these foreign companies used that knowledge to start their own companies. eg. 9X channels and Epic Channel were developed by heads of Star TV India and Disney India. Zee group and NDTV group also arose because of Star TV partnerships. We are trying to do the same in defense industry now.

It's not so simple. Companies shell out tons of money for broadcasters like Star & Sony only because they have exclusive rights for the event. Once such event is available on cheaper platforms like Doordarshan, Star & Sony lose their bargaining power. The losses are so high that it can't be recovered even if DD pays them 100% of the ad revenue. So if Star is paying 55 crore, they have every right to earn much more than that. So if they are forced to share feed with DD, they are stripped of their rights.
DD can broadcast India matches because it's linked to national glory. But no such case exists in IPL.

I still don't understand how a club cricket like BCCI is linked to national glory when BCCI is itself a private company and not under sports ministry . On top of that cricket is not our national sports also. So if DD can broadcast a cricket own by a company then by same rule DD should be able to broadcast IPL also as that also a company cricket

Hahahaha I think you don't know what's good or bad.

It's like a foreign man have a fruit shop in India, buying fruits from farmers at the cost of ₹100 per kg and selling at ₹120 per kg. He's earning ₹20 per kg. From ₹20 he is investing ₹10 on various projects of India. Those projects are giving employment to number of Indians.

Govt authorities came to that man and told that you have to share your fruits with local vendors who are not buying any fruit. Local vendors are selling those fruits at ₹80 and giving that man ₹70 of revenue from ₹80.

Will that foreign man will buy fruits again from farmers?? Will that foreign man invest in any projects again?? Will you say that man to leave India?? Will anyone buy fruits from those farmers again??

If you'll send back all companies to their home nation, no one will invest in India. All companies will shut down. People will lose their jobs.

PS- Treat it as a example only.
Don't say fruits and cricket are different
Don't say ₹10 can't be treated as an investment.
