I think this year Star may win IPL broadcasting rights ....
and Sony & Ten JV will have nothing from Indian Cricket???
Sony and ten have very good football line up while Star will have cricket. beside star is doing well by promoting Kabaddi , Indian Soccer, Badminton .
great job!

But it willn't be easy as bcci is struggling with sc verdict so can't do anything in its own way.

Very exciting news.

Sony is on aggressive mood. Now waiting for their new channel names with new logo.

Sony should design new logo with sporty look. Not like star Sports bulky and ugly
