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

[iDJ]

Any1 requesting star sports, please do also ask them if they intend to bring back Star Sports Select Experience service channels..... This will solve all issues but question remains if they have rights to broadcast all matches on tv or bought tv rights for few matches

This is a joke. Right? They rather have additional channels than air fresh live content on existing channels over ages old highlights.

I want the Star Sports Network to lose its IPL broadcasting rights after the 2022 season. The act of killing other sports for one sporting event is unacceptable.

Don't worry it will be Star who will make the actual growth in numbers. They will go from 10 people watching ages old highlights for months to 100 million watching the live match in peak season. That's an unmatchable growth Audience who left for months because of lack of fresh sports is coming back for IPL and T20 World Cup. Will happily leave again after that.

Star Sports First will not air Premier League reason being it costs less, at Max Star Sports 2 might air alongwith Star Sports 3. Thru service channels PL matches can b aired and channel earns subscription fee of Star Sports Select channels.... There is delicate balance they need to maintain while giving niche sports coverage on channels and OTT so that revenue model remains viable

Right now IPL is overlapping. What happens to the channels for the rest of the year when IPL isn't on? They still don't use the channels airing highlights like Star Sports 1 HD and Star Sports 2 HD priced around ₹19 air live matches on weekends.

Serie A and Ligue 1 aren't scheduled yet to air this week on either Vh1.
