Great News . Now i want them to get IPL at any cost so that the Crap SS highlights channels shutdown .

They already have enough properties for now to launch an Sports channel. If they are planning to bid for IPL, then we may see Sports channel from Reliance in next 2-3 months. I don't think BCCI will give IPL rights to a newly launched channel or even a channel which is not launched.

Yeah sure if they want to lose more viewers in IPL which is already happening.

Hope they get some overseas cricket right like WI, Ban, NZ, Zim. As a startup they can buy these rights.
