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

[CloudCraze]

I rather have them air IPL and BCCI's matches all day than acquiring any growing league. Viewership of non Indian matches are increasing thanks to Sony's marketing and amazing Hindi and regional team. Teaching you history and explaining you facts making matches interesting for casual viewers. If Star acquires any International boards. I wouldn't expect Hindi or regional coverage when someone like England is Touring Australia. These would exclusive to India's matches.

I wrote a rant hating Sony's Olympic coverage. The commentary was just awesome for me to like even the average of sporting events ever aired on it. I forgot the rules of hockey and wrestling. Commentators explained them in every match. Star owns rights FIH and NFL. How much of hockey or football highlights do you even get to watch? How many here knows the rules of American Football, F1 Racing or even Baseball here? They owned the rights of MLB last season. Don't you wish your broadcaster educated you on something new you were watching.

Of course. It is as true as day that if the star owns any other sports rights it will never be shown on TV. At that time too, they will try to show IPL highlights. Many of us have gone to Star Sports' Facebook and YouTube handles and said "criticism". But then did they make any changes?Didn't even the IPL star auction do all the channels at the same time interrupt the ISL broadcast?

So, I wish Star Sports Should lose IPL & ICC rights and let them learn a lesson.

Record dip in viewership for NBC of their Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 broadcast.

NBC's Beijing Olympic ratings called a 'disaster' for network: 'I'm stunned ... There is karma in the world'

NBC saw a significant television ratings decrease from 2018 in its 2022 Winter Olympics coverage in Beijing. The Games were clouded by scandal and Chinese government atrocities.

Don't think Doordarshan did any good numbers here in India either. The network prioritised this over Women's Cricket Team matches.

Doordarshan very very rarely broadcasts women cricket. But they always broadcast olympics, and men's cricket as per event of national importance rule.

Who decides what's national importance event and which are not? And how is Winter Olympics even remotely important.
