Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

Rights have already been sold for 7 years. I don't think it will be sold again till that period unless NZC or Prime Video breach the contract.

Let's decode the stupid marketing strategy of IPL by Star. Star's point is streaming is expensive because mobile data which comes complimentary with most telecom plans is expensive to stream IPL. Meanwhile when Star brought the streaming rights in 2014 to stream IPL for StarSports.com. It would take your extended family's entire year's salary to stream IPL using mobile data when data was not necessity, cheap or a commodity. It's stupid and ironic to talk about data prices now when we got some of the most cheapest data prices in the world.

If I was Star I won't even mention the streaming platform. Because as a viewer Disney+ Hotstar would be the place I would first think about when I want to watch IPL. I would use studio, review and watch along shows on Hotstar pushing viewers to my TV channel. Lastly I would want Jio to come to me for ad-slots to promote their stream. We could co-exist peacefully. But we had butcher this. We go attacking each other like news channels does for rating. Creating an ugly atmosphere for advertisers. Instead of going at them with data. We will go at it with opinionated article and stupid PR campaigns. Right now no one's giving free publicity to free stream of JioCinema than Star.

Jio, Disney Star and the marketing agencies involved should be ashamed for creating a lackluster promotion to one of the iconic sports event of the year. What a waste of money. Instead of taking potshots against one another, they should promote the event like how Sony used to do. Some never learn from the past.
