Sports Channels in India (Current & Upcoming) - Broadcast Rights, General Discussion, News & Updates

[iDJ]

Having a very positive feeling about Viacom18 launching a new sports channels in coming days. Usually sporting event Viacom has airs on MTV, Vh1 and Colors Infinity. Even now if you see Colors Infinity has Arsenal TV in it's line-up. This time they had made sure to leave Vh1 and Colors Infinity. Not that either channels has some proper weekend programming during match timing. It's because it would be odd to pull out sporting properties when a new channel is launched. I think they will launch 1 sports channel with both SD and HD feed while also using Viacom's English and Youth's channel to air sports when multiple events are scheduled to air at same time.

I think rights are entirely with FSDL not Jio. @Saichaitanya4496 bro. What does "including but not limited to" means here.

Every AFC Competition rights are with FSDL. Exclusive to Star, Hotstar and Jio TV. @iDJ They have mentioned in that article released by ISL. FSDL has all AFC Competition rights.

Yes.. Even production for all AFC competitions will be handled by FSDL ie., Star Sports if they are happening in the Indian Subcontinent.
