They are indeed airing in Bangla and Malyalam. Star really needs convert Star Sports 3 to 16:9 format if they want to use it as a multilingual channel. PQ just looks horrible.

When will Star Sports 3 HD channel launch? I have been hearing it for a long time

Yes ... if in doubt you can go and check out that voot website. If you search for Serie A, you will see Live & Exclusive on Voot.

Press Release says Viacom's channels, Voot and JioTV. It may come when they launch a dedicated channel.

That means, do not expect it to happen immediately. Isn't it?

No clue. Maybe after NTO 2.0.

Once NTO 2.0 is implemented, broadcasters can be expected to shut down a number of channels en masse.

I am expecting it to be soon on Viacom's English channels. They just got the rights this week. I think they didn't plan tv airing. English channels aired Raksha Bandhan special binge. Vh1 has other shows scheduled during the airing of Serie A matches.

Guys tag @paliaf on Twitter and request him to do something about tv airing if you care about Serie A airing on tv.

They will shut down or revamp non performing channels.

If so, I would like to see the Hindi and local language channels of the major sports networks (Star & Sony) also shut down. Nothing but wasting satellite / cable slot. Couldn't they have taken advantage of a system called audio feed?

In India 90% of population watch cricket . That's why all the channel are showing cricket.
Other sports have only 10% .

It's OK. But if there is the same content on every channel (ie, like Follow the blues, Virat Kohli's 13 years), why so many channels? One is not enough?
