Good suggestion. But why doesn't industry suggest this to govt? They won't.Another law for mandatory FTA so that the pay broadcaster re-evaluates the price he is going to pay while the FTA broadcaster also pays the rightful amount to the host. This model has been prevelant for so many years and successfull in the countries like UK & Australia. The viewer also gets a choice to choose where to watch.
I hope this one is not sarcasm. Concerned state govt can request PB or even launch their own channels for state importance.So why not use States channel and air it?
They have DD's regional channels.I hope this one is not sarcasm. Concerned state govt can request PB or even launch their own channels for state importance.
My point is If you bid for digital streaming as well as tv broadcast rights, but don't broadcast at all on tv then it is like a deliberate tv blackout. National importance event can't be OTT exclusive. There is law for it, deal with it.
Nobody asked anyone to bid aggressively, its their own choice. Keep this freeloader argument aside because feed has to be shared by law since 2007. Again i say law doesn't limit it to freedish. Just sc did so to protect private channel. There is no private channel in this case.
It's not OTT exclusive as it was already being shared on DD Freedish. And the freeloader argument still stands even if there's a law. What if these private broadcasters stop procuring these premium rights altogether. Will the government step in and purchase the rights for the sake of 'national interest'? I guess the answer is no. Why not make such laws like those in the UK and Australia, where it is mandatory to broadcast sporting events Free to Air? Let DD Bid for free to air rights like BBC and Channel 7 do in the UK and Australia respectively?
Your point of holding TV rights and still not broadcasting would be valid if Prime owned a TV Channel in India. They may have entered into private negotitiations but may not have been able to secure a justifiable amount.
What if Amazon scrap their pact with DD Sports on airing the matches on DD Sports1.0 then even if they share DD Sports1.0 feed with Dish and SITI, the matches wont be shown live on TVNow Doordarsrhan therefore entered into a special agreement with Amazon whereby they will be air these matches on DD Free Dish, this most probably would have been a monetary deal and Doordarshan would have paid money for getting these TV rights just for DD Free Dish viewers.
If amazon attempt tv blackout in future. Govt will amend law and bring OTT players under the act.What if Amazon scrap their pact with DD Sports on airing the matches on DD Sports1.0 then even if they share DD Sports1.0 feed with Dish and SITI, the matches wont be shown live on TV
