Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

It's great Sony sports covering world athletics championship in one channel but also make people bored by showing only race events wished they used 2 Sony channels for broadcast events and throw limelight on field event also

In ratio of broadcast
80% time track events 20% time field event

Very Difficult for Broadcasters Negotiations with Fancode and Amazon Prime, Both West indies Rights with Fancode and New Zealand Rights Exclusively with Amazon Prime. Zimbabwe, Bangladesh Cricket Rights Remain unsold but Fancode continues Tie up with both boards series wise.

Even I want ECB, CA Rights with Viacom18, But now Viacom18 have former Big Broadcaster CEO As strategic investment partner. Uday Shankar who earlier mentioned Test cricket doesn't support and meaningless bilateral series.

we have been told for a while now, doesn’t support Test and “meaningless” bilateral series. Uday Shankar, the former chief of Star & Disney India, had once told this newspaper how there is no market for Test cricket and it’s only the largesse of the broadcasters that is running it.

With South Africa’s withdrawal of ODI series with Australia due to new T20 league, economics of cricket has spoken

With South Africa willing to put their direct qualification to the next year’s ODI world cup at risk by their withdrawal, the future of cricket’s monogamous relationship with T20 Franchise leagues is loud and clear.

I think we are moving into an era of too much commercialization of Cricket. Slowly, franchise cricket would take over bilateral series. Cricket has always been enjoyed as a contest between 2 countries. Sure, franchise cricket is OK once in a while. But, the thrill, excitement and passion can only be there when your country plays with another.
Cricket can never be compared with football. The growth of football has been entirely different than that of cricket. Those football clubs have existed for centuries and it has been played likewise in almost every country.
I hope people realise this soon.
