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

[dino29]

I am wondering what kind of sponsors are attracted to highlights over live sporting events. And how much they make money off these highlights? Most of the ads in these channels are of it's own shows and upcoming events. Even if at heart of these channels was celebration of sports. What's stopping you from airing documentaries and classic matches of FIFA and UEFA? Why same old matches and compilations has to air throughout the year?

EuroSport is trying this. Has it yielded success. Remember Trace Sport Stars, it aired documentaries and sports shows... All led to failure in India. I do not blame broadcasters entirely. Either one can invest in non cricket sports or big cricket rights....balancing both is financially difficult. Star/disney still has 2 chs dedicated to niche sports...next yr if they do not get IPL then major overhaul will happen

As per that deal. Can Premiere League matches which doesn't makes to Star Sports channel end up on other broadcasters like Sony or Discovery?

FYI.

Star Sports renews Premier League rights in India

in next 2 yrs all these will become digital exclusive barring important matches. Or if TV is to b the destination then people should pay more for such channels. Last option is to take rights of 1 or 2 big cricket properties, earn revenue and balance out finance with having other niche sports. It is tough buddy, we can just taunt broadcasters but it is tight rope for them. I feel under star/disney star sports will let go off either ICC, IPL or BCCI rights

What's new? They have been doing since there rebrand in 2013. They have resources to bring multiple regional channels but not air multiple matches. Countries which lesser population and money has access to more content than us.
