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

[Nikhil3]

Westindies cricket deserves for TV Broadcasting, recent years we know that how westindies made cricket next level especially T20 and ODI Cricket, after knowing these things also broadcasters still not showing interest for Westindies Cricket Rights, Atleast Sony or Viacom should try to grab Rights for any cost

Is ESPN Currently producing Windies Home matches? Earlier it was Sony.

 

[Ajith 100]

Now we are going To Miss Australia Vs Windies,Bangladesh Vs Zimbabwe in this month

Pakistan tour of West Indies also Starting from July 27.

All of these are very interesting series

Yes Bro, We are going to Miss very interesting all Series, Especially I love West indies Cricket very much.

 

[Nikhil3]

I think broadcasters are Waiting For Indias Series in those countries. Then we had to wait Long

Because they are not stupid to invest most of their resources in one sports and sit idle for rest of the month. It's month of July.

Sony has the following sporting event this month :-

Copa America 2020
UFC 264
UFC Fight Night

Pakistan Tour of England
India Women Tour of England
India Tour of Sri Lanka
WWE Raw

What does Star got? Only 3 Sports NBA, Wimbledon and F1 Racing. Best of MLB and ESPN FC is a nice addition. But that's it. Nothing more.

As a viewer we should care about variety. Not about who makes how much money.

I Agree, Star Recovers Acquisition cost from Hot Cricket Rights, will Sony Recovers Acquisition Cost of these variety Sports except cricket Rights

Windies Board are producing the feed themselves.

I Agree, Star Recovers Acquisition cost from Hot Cricket Rights, will Sony Recovers Acquisition Cost of these variety Sports except cricket Rights

Yes, they will. They are in money making business. Right? Sony is looking to make ₹200cr off just UEFA Euro 2020 and Copa America 2020. Mind you that football give lowest time for ad slots among all sports. And Copa airs at 2 am and 5 am. Not an ideal time for advertisers.

Sony Sports targets Rs 200 crore in ad sales from UEFA Euro, Copa América

With two of the most popular football tournaments - UEFA Euro 2020 and Copa América 2021 - scheduled to kick off later this month, the official broadcaster, Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) is looking at a windfall in terms of advertising moolah.
