Breaking Reliance and Disney Announce Strategic Joint Venture

[Aksgr]

Very bad if the JioCinema name is kept and Disney+ Hotstar, which is a much more established and global name, is axed. I was never a fan of the very specific nature of the JioCinema name which excludes sports and other properties, and I want the name to be terminated in the merged entity. Looks like a classic case of the Ambanis exerting too much influence.

disney + word cannot be used as the disney has 37% odd shares. and jio cinema is now popular as much as hotstar, but sucks at UI and rendering speed.

Just once think about India cricketing rights monopoly. Around 95% cricket rights will be with them after merger!

Sony never interest for costly cricket, STAR have monopoly over cricket since a decade.

I think they might rename as Jio Star or Jio hotstar after merger, I think D+HS shutdown for cost cutting due to Amazon cloud storage, Jio cinema relies on partner/share holder Google cloud storage.

Sony was never interested under the old management. Now with this big reshuffle things might change

Offices are changed, not owners. so mindset never change.

Monopoly about cricket is bit exaggerated. Between 2018 to 2022 star had IPL, BCCI bilaterals, ICC events & ACC events. Star also had NZ and SA rights for some time during this period. Wasn't there monopoly that time?

Why would they knowingly bankrupt thier company by acquiring unreasonable cricket rights?

Sony has always played it safe. Even in the Hollywood, they don't have a streaming service.

Disney+ and Paramount+ are struggling in streaming business now.
