Did you guys enjoy watching World Cup broadcast in Cold Winters as compared to Hot Summers?

This will probably be the last World Cup we will have in Winter in our lifetime.

For me i have no problem wheather it's winter or summer yes if Kick off early morning then it's a problem in winter but thank god this edition match time midnight

For player point of view summer is better as they get enough rest and they also fresh to give their best performance

Any news whethere ESPN is returning after March 2023? Also even if they do, will they have some impact in terms of programming or production too. Because with SONY, apart from a few magazine shows, there was no visible difference in terms of presence of ESPN.

Disney should give more decision making power to ESPN Studios. Just remember the era of ESPN Star.

From a broadcast perspective, the overall cumulative global dedicated TV audience for Australia 2022 was 1.28 billion. A total of 3.95 billion hours of the event was watched including 365 million viewing hours on digital streaming platforms. Live streaming consumption increased by 149 million viewing hours from the previous Men’s T20 World Cup in 2021, reflecting a change in customer habits and how they are consuming live coverage.

Coverage across key markets saw the most watched match of the tournament, India versus Pakistan, accumulate 256 million viewing hours in India. There was also an overall 4% increase in average live linear TV viewership in India when compared to the most recent ICC men’s event held in Australia, driven by multi-language coverage in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada across the Star Network and Hotstar.

The Star Sports Hindi feed was also accessed by viewers in the US via Willow TV and ESPN+ and in Australia via Fox Sports. Additional regional language efforts from ESPN brought the live broadcast to Brazil in Portuguese for the first time, with both Pashto and Dari language feeds available to fans in Afghanistan via ATN.

Star Sports’ original marketing campaign ‘Bahut Hua Intezaar’ used a fresh approach ahead of the India versus Pakistan match, to draw upon the joy that cricket spreads across the nation to engage with and generate further interest amongst Indian fans. Fox Sports’ ‘Don’t Miss A Thing’ campaign utilised Australian cricket heroes past-and-present to remind fans that every game would be shown live with no ad breaks during play across Fox Cricket in the host nation.

TVNZ is to become the exclusive domestic broadcaster for all BLACKCAPS, WHITE FERNS, and Super Smash matches for three years, from the start of the 2023-24 home summer until the end of the 2025-26 season.

New Zealand’s largest free-to-air broadcaster will expand its partnership with NZC as part of Spark’s decision to exit the sports streaming market - announced by the telco this morning.

It means more than 300 international and domestic cricket matches will be screened live on a combination of TVNZ1 and Duke over the agreed three-year period.

In addition, the fixtures will also be streamed live on TVNZ+.
The new arrangement will officially start in July 2023, with the current home summer programme to be screened on Spark Sport and TVNZ, as usual.

TVNZ the exclusive home for cricket
