Lol you didn't understand plot, they're talking about valuation of Indian business. It's never include cricket or any other sports properties cost paying if someone buys or JV, they're signed sports agreement only, doesn't mean alredy paid in 5/10 biilion. If Disney continue or whoever buys, it's their responsibility paying bills after every bilateral series, Tournament or any other sports during rights tenure.

New buyer can giving up or surrender costly cricket rights of ICC and IPL TV (5B$)

Overall Sports investment $ 10 Billion for next 5 years, count another Freebie platform $ 10 biilion. Unlikely pay $ 22 biilion including all operating and marketing cost. Comcast maybe rise stake in Indian media entertainment business, back in 2020 closed indian operations, unfortunately their business unfinished.

My dream: Disney is looking for somebody to take over their India operations. Nobody came to the door. So, finally someone came to purchase Disney star. It’s none other than the “Fox Corporation“

Viacom 18 is the Reliance Pump and Star is going to be Jio Bp pump
IMO shut down Viacom 18 channels except VH1, MTV, Colors TV, Colors Infinity, History TV, Nick. As HSM is big they can manage both Star Plus & Colors under one roof with their existing programs. In regional market there is redundancy and as Star has edge, then Colors should give way to Star. The same may happen when Zee & Sony merges. Zee TV & Sony TV will co exist under one roof(for HSM).

If Reliance is going to acquire Disney's India assets, will they call it "Star 18"? Because they already have network 18.

I hope they don't do that. Let Star be like Star. "Star 18" is too much to tolerate.
