[vicky 1213]

Star Sports F1 rights are ending after 2022 season. 2016-2022 is the deal. 2023 still don't know. Formula 1 popularity is increasing rapidly after crazy 2021 season. Also Netflix feeding "Drive to Survive " to Gen Z creating interest among younger audience which don't have tendency to sit in front of TV for even 1 hr . There is big chance that they will continue with Formula 1. They have Formula E then it make sense they keep F1 also. What they gonna show on TV in the name of Live sports other than cricket.

Discussed many times earlier too in detail, there us vast difference between earlier 90s or 2000s broadcast rights scenario and now. Earlier it was quite easy to have big ICC, BCCI or other sports major events rights alongwith various other sports properties and give proper airtime to them but now with indian cricket rights cost touching such a peak, it will b difficult for any broadcaster to recover such amount thus u have a scenario where on star sports cricket supercedes everything else.
I understand from consumer perspective this is irritating but for things to change lot needs to change.... Right from tv rights price of major properties remaining affordable or viable to people changing their viewing habits which will lead to other sports getting more space on sports chs even when having major cricket rights

In simple words, we have to boycott IPL and Indian cricket matches for viewing all other sports over the world.

Or broadcasters collectively can set a limit that they won't exceed a particular amount of over any sporting events. Than only eyes will open. Otherwise they will have to keep on paying ridiculous amount for cricket. And pledge to not have monopoly over all IPL, BCCI and ICC rights.

The worst thing about Star is that to gain more viewership they will invite actors to promote their movies, in between the cricket match they will start promoting kabaddi and even broadcast cricket on general ent. channels.
Let sport be sport only, instead of making it a entertainment show for profit.

STAR sports promised they will use select channels for non desi leagues, but they betrayed us like they always do. Just wait until Viacom releases it sports channel. The things will change rapidly as Viacom is more interested in Global sports properties.
