ESPN is a sports network of Disney group.

Yeah it's Separate entity under Walt Disney, Currently Both ESPN and Star Sports separate entities

I don't think ESPN will separately bid for IPL if Star is bidding. Moreover, ESPN has no direct presence in India except espn.in and espncricinfo.

The thing is if Viacom gets rights they will probably telecast it on rishtey cineplex for DDFD.

Are you serious, IPL is premium property and IPL Broadcast rights value more then 35,000 Crores, Viacom 18 overall value also not even 6,000 Crores, IPL Media Rights Acquisition Cost Recovery mainly from Subscription and On Air Ad Revenue, if they aired IPL Free on Free Dish V/18 will face financial troubles within some months they will shutting down so many channels

Whoever buy the rights, if they ensure fine picture quality as we see in a cricket match played on AUS, ENG or NZ could be fine. Whoever has the telecasting rights in india, Usually Indian people get only sh#tty picture quality even in HD format if the matches played here in India be it right from neo, sony or star.

IPL is not making to freedish for sure. But Viacom can sure put fresh capital into Indian market if they want to expand in other genres. Sports is the only genre they are yet to make their presence in.

I feel their production is in 4K whereas indian only in HD.you can see the clear difference in T20WC vrs IPL
Feed production is with BCCI whoever be the rights holder.

I think T20 World Cup production work is done by Star.

Here many are assuming that viacom, zee-sony will get IPL rights for nect 5 yr cycle whose price will be in between 4-5 bn USD

Tbh by seeing such high price i really dont think any indian broadcaster will be able to withstand such high price other than star when their own whole market value is very less than IPL price (then no matter what who is backing whom whether its ambani or sony-zee merger)

Star india's market value in 2016 was 14-15 bn USD right now their market value must be in betn 20-25 bn USD so iam sure they are the only one who will be able to withstand such high expenses of IPL

Do u think its joke to handle such high expenses of IPL when right now no.1 broadcaster star is also facing trouble to handle IPL when its current price is 2.55 bn USD so just imagine when IPL's price will shoot up to 5 bn dollars others like sony-zee , viacom will go bankrupt by just handling IPL (i agree sony handled IPL very well in first 10yrs bcz at that time their orice was not high but this tym if they gets IPL rights they will surely fail)

Star will surely not let go IPL as they are not buying any other sports properties rights except IPL/BCCI/ICC as their main focus is on only these 3 properties so they are just saving money to get this rights at any cost otherwise they wouldnt have launched so many sports channels

My gut feeling says that Star will surely get IPL's rights for next 5yr cycle
