Should Sports Networks have Regional Channels?

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

  • NO, Language feeds are enough. (I don't care about programming / graphics in regional language)

So barring Harsha Bhogle and Nasir Hussain is there any good commentator working in this WTC final? Saurav is decent but nothing extraordinary. Gavaskar & Shastri both are too old past their prime. Hayden, Ponting,Langer are at best average. Where is Michael Atherton, Ian Smith , Mark Nicholas even Mark Taylor?

When Espn,Star Sports,Star Cricket.Tensports and Ten Cricket channels are available every international match available for live telecast..at that time only 5 channels will be sufficient..Now channels are increased in number still missing so many matches..

Jio Cinema Freemium version getting expanded on hotstar too, Don't know how long these things sustain in market. moreover both ICC and ACC Global Media Rights with Disney/Star expiring this year.

Disney+ Hotstar goes free-to-view for all Mobile Phone users for the upcoming Asia Cup and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup

The move is said to be aimed at further democratising cricket and making it accessible to more mobile users in India.

Putting it behind paywall will completely destroy the sport.

Look at what Sky did to England Cricket.

Jio created the Ad ecosystem while Hotstar was struggling to get $100M+ revenue through ads. US is still struggling to onboard advertisers and major sporting leagues are finding it hard to reach consumers. What Jio did was transformational. Hope it continues the way forward.
