Nobody care numbers position nowadays, No.1 Disney Star and No.2 Sony/Zee Mass media company itself doesn't care on some of media Rights. yeah Viacom18/ Reliance Jio have huge investment from western to Gulf countries and China for acquire some high profile media Rights to show Indian Freebie viewers, that doesn't mean they're continue Free strategy for permanent. Moreover they're not running charitable trust for everything.

Before: Disney Star is the #1 Network in India and Disney+ Hotstar is the #1 OTT platform in India.

Now: Nobody care numbers position.

Without # they won’t be able to demand higher ad rates. That’s why The Walt Disney Company has earmarked losses in FY24.

You are absolutely right bro,,subscriber base number for OTT holds importance as it helps get more ad revenue but as far as garnering subscription revenue is concerned now in current digital landscape it holds no real value.

Disney-Star has made the right decision to not buy BCCI TV + OTT and IPL Digital rights at extremely exorbitant pricing as it would caused th to lose out on money invested rather than recover the same let alone earn profit.

Now Disney-Star has great opportunity to use the money saved in expanding its offerings across TV + Digital Medium and improving upon other things.

@Ashok Varma & @StoriesWithPK bros should try to understand this with more deep insight into the various things which r all inter connected & taken into consideration by broadcasters while deciding upon carving a strategy.

Here is one such article which offers some perspective as to why this decision of not over spending on acquiring rights of these cricket properties will actually overall benefit Disney-Star
