Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

  • YES, Absolutely! I'd love to watch the content and hear the commentary in my preferred language.

  • NO, Language feeds are enough. (I don't care about programming / graphics in regional language)

Yes, Gujarati and Malayalam will be Phase 4 for Star Sports, tentatively scheduled to launch before ICC CWC 2019.
FYI, Phase 1 - Hindi & Tamil, Phase 2 - Telugu & Kannada, Phase 3 - Marathi & Bangla

I already said Phase 4 is Malayalam and Gujarati. Also, there are no more phases after Phase 4. No other regional channel after the 4 in pipeline now.

Yeah now after Trai New rule situation changed. Now Star will not take to risk in experimenting Other regional languages with a dedicated Channel.. They may give language feeds if they can :)
 
Star Sports will only be a cluster of English, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Bangla, Gujarati and Malayalam.
Star doesn't see any potential in launching sports channels in Punjabi, Odiya, Assamese, Bodo, Dogri, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Manipuri, Nepali, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sindhi and Urdu.
Also Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Bagheli, Bagri, Braj, Bundeli, Chattisgarhi, Garhwali, Godwari, Haryanvi, Kanauji, Kangri, Khariboli, Khortha, Kumaoni, Kurmali, Lambani, Magahi, Malvi, Marwari, Mewati, Rajasthani, Sadri and any other language/dialect.
