Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

  • YES, Absolutely! I'd love to watch the content and hear the commentary in my preferred language.

They did launched couple of years back in 2018. They were charging ₹199 for six months. Completely ad free sport. Back then regular Sony Liv subscription use to cost ₹499 annually. Free tier offered 5 minute delay of everything. Don't hope for same. Streaming was just bad back then. Servers were down in the middle of the events. Even the quality was sub-par. They need to maintain cost. Star can afford to giveaway as they recover most of the cost from Cricket which generates huge sums of ad revenue. Sony doesn't have similar option for same as their offerings are niche.

I think WWE itself is involved in selling the subscription. Hence, live Raw, SmackDown and NXT is excluded from subscription. It's same subscription it was when WWE Network was available as a seperate streaming platform with all WWE originals, archive and live pay per views available. But latest Raw, SmackDown and NXT was only available on Sony Liv.
