No IPL will not be owned by reliance they just get rights of telecast.Won't there be any conflict of interest when Reliance owns MI and also acquire IPL rights? Competition ethics? Or payto babus and getaway with it?
Discovery Sports or one 1Sports? Who has many broadcasting rights?
Discovery Sports aka Eurosport has good properties like MLS, Eredivisie, PFL, AEW, Moto GP, Some Tennis and Golf events rights with other niche contets liek Cycling etc. 1 sports has Nidhas Trophy, Monster Jam and I League highlights. Also some golf and wrestling events. All on Standard Definition.
Already Jio sponsors most IPL teams including MI, Reliance’s team. Now if Colors channels air it, it will be too much of Reliance in the IPL. Colors sponsors MI too. (But Colors Bangla sponsored KKR in the past.)
How conflict of Int? Even now they own MI and sponsors most of team. By your logic, Sponsorship of all teams by MI owner should be more troublesome. But Broadcaster dont give money to any team. So no conflict here.Won't there be any conflict of interest when Reliance owns MI and also acquire IPL rights? Competition ethics? Or pay
No... As per my knowledge reliance bid was rejected not because they did not bid large amount. It was because they had no experience in sports broadcast. That is why in last 5 years viacom18 has pushed for so many cricket live event like nirdas or world safety cricket series or Maharashtra league and more
