Already stated that option in earlier post, plz check it. Private sports broadcasters r free to air these matches thru their own channels on DD Free dish and work out a mechanism to temporarily carry these channels on terrestrial mode too during the series. So government or DD r just fulfilling their responsibility to make important sports events available to all viewers.
Just like broadcasters r not implementing NTO 2.0 in proper manner with affordable pricing of channels be it thru bouquet or standalone mode same ways they r not providing cricket or other live sports on DD Free Dish or Terrestrial Mode as they want more customers to shift to pay tv platform which although is fine when looked at separately but this is not the way to attract subscribers. Private broadcasters already seeing dip in TV ratings of Hindi GEC channels which were recently dropped from DD Free Dish.
All broadcasters need to have clear cut strategy for Free as well as pay tv audience and thereby create a system or plan wherein more customers themselves feel interested in upgrading from free platforms to pay tv platforms. Blocking content is wrong strategy. Anyways with Sports18 Khel planning to bring host of live sports on DD Free Dish, i m hopeful things will change but this shift needs to happen across genres and even NTO 2.0 needs to implemented by broadcasters in full letter and spirit
