Lost opportunity for Netflix. They could've entered sports space with F1. They could have companion documentaries. There is an audience for F1 who are willing to pay premium for ad-free races in 4K. Old broadcaster didn't do justice to the rights. Even if Sony or Viacom acquired the rights. They won't be able to give ad-free experience.

Hotstar's F1 coverage is Ad free if not in 4K.Yes it is stupid that Select HD2 goes into break when drivers are trying to overtake each other.It would suit them if the Ads are strategically planned rather than automated especially in case of F1.I wonder how long before star introduces ad breaks in PL given its high acquisition cost.Imagine Ad breaks when an attacker is bearing down on the goal

Ad breaks when an attacker is bearing down on the goal

That would be hilarious.

So no taker for even icc events
U19 women's world cup blackout from tv
Dd sports will show india bilateral match
And no more words for pvt Sports Channels

MasterCard Trophy = National Important
U19 Women's World Cup = Semi national important event

MasterCard Trophy = National Important
U19 Women's World Cup = Semi national important event

Not national interest
It's All about personal interest

 

[sathishbabu4u]

MasterCard Trophy = National Important
U19 Women's World Cup = Semi national important event

U19 womens world cup - if any pvt broadcaster telecast the match, then DD sports make it as national importance and ask for share feed, if none telecasting, then these are not national importance

I want pvt broadcaster has to back out india's long tour, then see what DD sports say, whether they go for the rights or make it non-national importance series

I hope Amazon prime grabs the f1 rights. They're the perfect condidate for f1 in terms of streaming quality and viewing experience

Formula 1 is in active talks with Amazon over a deal to stream F1 races on the Prime Video streaming platform

I want Eurosport to get niche rights like F1 they will telecast it properly rather than Star, Viacom or especially Sony

Hotstar's F1 coverage is Ad free if not in 4K.Yes it is stupid that Select HD2 goes into break when drivers are trying to overtake each other.It would suit them if the Ads are strategically planned rather than automated especially in case of F1.I wonder how long before star introduces ad breaks in PL given its high acquisition cost.Imagine Ad breaks when an attacker is bearing down on the goal

PL broadcast right for the current cycle is less than the previous cycle and that was lesser than the cycle before so the cost for acquiring PL rights is on a downward trend
