Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

Even Sony does that when Star Sports airs India Cricket matches live, infact if i remember correctly not too long ago it played the whole India Vs Australia Test Match Rerun when Live home series test match was being shown live on Star Sports...... Please don't unnecessarily criticise Disney Star or any broadcaster for things where they r not even at fault
They aired ball by ball highlights of entire test match? 🤔

Yes

Here is the proof for reference purpose


Well i am all okay for criticising a broadcaster for such things but being one sided should not be done....also as far as India Cricket Highlights airing most often across many Star Sports channels is concerned i have already multiple times stated reason for the same....a Sports Broadcaster investing huge money in key India Cricket properties/events will try to maximise its monetization so u would have aeen when Sports18 launched it aired variety of Sports but moment it got India Cricket Rights these were aired almost all thru the day on their channels Sports18 -1/2 and even sometimes on Sports18 3.... Infact Star Sports still despite having such huge investments in India Cricket has dedicated Star Sports Select channels to primarily air Non Cricket sports which in itself is a great thing considering premium sports properties like Premier League, UFC, Wimbledon hardly generate any revenue compared to cost incurred in buying rights + transmission costs etc..... So overall not just Star Sports but Disney Star is doing fab job of running its very large bouquet of TV Channels in an excellent manner providing viewers wide range of content
