Bhai, the thing is, Star Sports 1 Marathi already exists. But it is not distributed on any platforms. Similarly there were dedicated Nat Geo Tamil and Telugu channels but those were never added by any platforms and hence they were shut down.

But that's an employee only channel. Right?

It's not about are we , it's about we are . RIL is confident for bidding IPL. Will take it to another level.
When I enquired about sports channel. He laughed and said what you think we will put ipl in colors TV ?.
2 parallel sports channel will be launched one dedicated to cricket and other dedicated to football , esport , golf , TT and more.
I enquired about will their be dedicated Hindi channel. He said it will be given to regional movie channels also audio selection would be provided for DTH users.
What languages will we witness - English , Hindi , Bengali , Tamil , Telugu and Kannada
When can we witness launch of channel. ?
He said we are waiting for FIFA and some cricket rights.

He at last said. Experience the magic of sports. I think it might be tagline. I'm not sure

This is a wise decision

1) It is enough to broadcast a sports program on any one channel only.

2) If anyone of you want to watch in the local language, just try the audio feed or any local language movie channel. As a result there is no need to take more channel broadcasting licenses and maintenance . In addition, the TRP of local language film channels will increase by allocating some time slot for sports.

3) As cricket has a larger audience in India, a dedicated cricket channel is essential. It can also be a general sports channel for other sports. In the early days, ESPN-Star Sports, Neo Sports and Ten Sports all adopted this approach. But later, with the introduction of a numbering system for each channel, they were ruined.
When will our Star Sports and Sony Sports come to their senses?
