We looked at the more traditional channels and platforms. Star was one of them. We had discussions with Zee and one or two others too. I want to be candid about this – we felt that the valuation of many of those parties placed on our property wasn’t similar to what we felt it was worth.

Understandably a lot of broadcasters have a preoccupation with one of my favourite sports – cricket. They throw a lot of money into the sport.

Broadcasters in India are not offering the value we believe our property is worth: Ian Holmes, F1 | Campaign India

We caught up with Ian Holmes, director – media rights and content creation, Formula 1, to learn more about the lack of a broadcast deal, F1 TV and the pricing, the importance of the Indian market, and a lot more…

There is a huge fan base of F1 and MotoGP in India, don't forgot that India made Buddh International Circuit and host F1 India in the past and around 100,000 fans attend the race physically in the circuit and from this year onwards we are going to host MotoGP in India.
The only reason that no broadcaster go for the F1 rights this year is because of BCCI's media rights Auction is near and all broadcasters wants to save their money which they'll spend on BCCI rights. Once BCCI media rights Auction is over then they'll definitely go for F1 rights

No doubt, STAR will get BCCI TV rights, STAR vs Viacom18 for DIGITAL only.
