They didn't want to spend money on production for just one match.

Pro Kabaddi already going down in popularity, last season saw major dip in ratings which prompted Star to air it on hindi movie channel too.

This year too most sponsors have not joined with them and Star India has not promoted it in a widespread manner. Don't think it will be back next season.

Team Owners also want proper open bidding of broadcast rights, currently Star India is owner as well as themselves purchase rights.

Lastly , until Star India reduces focus on cricket ... Other sports will not find much growth. Most Ad Spendings go into cricket and little left for others, this year world cup consumed the marketing budget of brands. Currently allocation of funds r too much tilted towards cricket thus creating problems.


Sony is having much more legroom bcoz adequate money is available to buy different rights unlike Star where IPL/BCCI rights have been huge investments

In a week 1 match will telecast . So not get proper rating. Every match will be telecast they get no 5 position.

Exactly right...also just look at barc data...no improvement for asianet plus with the telecast of world cup malayalam commentory....

ISL and WC19 are telecasted on existing channels Asianet Movies and Asianet Plus, which are subscribed by most people in Kerala and are part of most base packs.
But the subscription for SS1 Malayalam will be very less, especially if STAR demands ₹19* for the channel.

Regional channels will work only if they charge under ₹10. They also need to need to get rid of stupid numbering. They are forced to air sport in discounted price because of stupid numbering because of which they can't have SS 1 and SS 1 Hindi or regional channels in same bouquet which forces them to have English feed in SS 2. Us HD football fans have to suffer because of this.
