Star Sports 3 served as the Second Hindi channel for multiple broadcasts earlier as well, even highlights are primarily Hindi

Yes that's true Star was first broadcaster to bring seperate sports channel in Hindi and other regional segment.
I still remember jo baat Hindi mein hai wo kisi aur mein nahi, Star Sports 3.

Whereas, HD3 was with tagline HD hai hum, Hindi hai hum.

In same manner today Sony Sports 3 which is previously known as Sony Ten 3 was having Hindi feed.

Such a wastage of bandwidth and channels. They can easily accommodate the sporting evens in respective color/star channels like earlier sony max

I also used to think same like why they waste so much bandwith and channel just for showcasing one match in different languages whereas Infotainment and Kids channel and now even English channel come with multiple audio feeds.
But, when I closely observe it's all about ad revenue. Like they showcases ads not just from popular brands accross India but many of local products, jwellery stores, retail stores and many others on their respective Regional sports channels which get them more and more ad and revenue.

But that can be shown in regional channels with all local ads and much lower subscription fees. The viewers are constants, more the regional feeds, proportionate decrease from eng/hindi feed.

Previously thing was that connection were limited and same applies on channel whereas now every second household has two television everyone have there own choice to watch so dedicated sports channel are necessary.
But, yes they must think about putting cricket, football, etc related tournament on one perticular channel so viewers don't need to juggle between multiple subscription.
