Sony is acquiring majority stake in zee by investing 11500 crore. Nse Bse approval done, only cci approval remaining, from where do you think zee getting money to acquire sports rights suddenly, before sony factor came into zee, punit goenka is almost confirmed to be kicked out of zee, if merger fails, that 11500 crore gone & it's tata bye bye for punit goenka.
We are in 2022 year still 2022/23 ICC events not over and Global Media Rights with Star. who knows they maybe again acquire 2024 to 2027 Rights or selected indian matches from Zee
Exclusive broadcast of ICC cricket is necessary for disney+hotstar to maintain their subscribers to an extent after losing IPL digital rights to Viacom18. After all, why would disney want to share it with Viacom18 to lose their subscribers. If it happens, then most users will only subscribe Viacom18 OTT only as it also provides IPL. Therefore not gonna happen.
