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.
 
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 :-
UEFA Euro 2020
Copa America 2020
UFC 264
UFC Fight Night
Olympics - Biggest Sporting Event of the year
Pakistan Tour of England
India Women Tour of England
India Tour of Sri Lanka
WWE Raw
WWE SmackDown
WWE NXT
WWE Main Event
WWE Money in the Bank
Impact Wrestling

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.

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.
