Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

  • YES, Absolutely! I'd love to watch the content and hear the commentary in my preferred language.

Last minute it can be taken but looks difficult as I read that nobody had taken the rights most probably and you can follow commentary on Sportstar most probably due to graveyard timings of matches.

Bro there is no return on investment for broadcasters as sports broadcast require huge amount of money also advertisers are reluctant as it’s not India centric and does not grab eyeballs double the timing factor so the blackout. In fact fancode has also dropped out for the same reason as they cannot make money from this telecast .
 
How do the streaming services / channels recoup their investments on sports like baseball, golf, volleyball, which are often on at odd hours?

In comparison to football they are not costly . So Ten Golf had shut down . IN between these 3 Volleyball has some following with local leagues too in India broadcast by Sony I guess . So its like you can say they take it on per events basis. There are other sports too like cycling etc and I guess they absorb the cost accordingly with at least a sponsor or some advertisements and it may happen the Indian broadcasters would have been approached to show them so that they are at a break even point. Sometimes they would have absorb the losses too as in streaming the costs may be less in comparison to proper satellite rights.
