"STAR Sports SELECT HD" launching soon (Ads started)

[Rakesh kr]

The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) has granted uplinking licences to Star India, thus paving the way for the broadcast major to expand its sports portfolio by launching regional sports channels in Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

The ministry has awarded 10 new licences to the broadcaster to launch Star Sports Marathi, Star Sports Bengali, Star Sports Malayalam, Star Sports Tamil, and Star Sports Telugu in standard definition (SD) as well as high definition (HD).

If all goes as per plan, the broadcaster will effectively have 18 sports channels. Currently, it has eight sports channels including four SD and four HD channels. Star was the first Indian broadcaster to launch a Hindi sports channel in SD and HD, namely Star Sports 3 and Star Sports HD3.

By launching regional sports channels, the broadcaster aims to take sports deeper into these regional markets and increase sports consumption. It had tasted success in the entertainment business by launching regional entertainment channels. It hopes to repeat that success in sports broadcasting.

So far, Star India has been airing regional feeds of sports properties on its regional movie channels or on second GECs. The launch of dedicated regional sports channels will give it room to offer more sports properties in regional languages.

Too much Sports Channel.Instead they should launch 1 channel with multiple regional audio feeds. Wastage of money and time for viewers as well as Star.

on the other hand spn should launch another sports channel with HD version. as spn have more attractive contract than star.
star have only Indian cricket right, england and Australian cricket right.
in football they have now Only ISL( almost a flop show) and Epl, Bundesliga.
and other sports category they have Kabaddi league, Hockey League, Formula 1 racing, Wimbledon/US open.
but spn has euro cup, confed cup, concaf cup, fifa world cup, La Liga, Serie A like football show, Tna like entertainment programme, Tennis League, IPL( Hit show), NBA, Australian Open.
thats y I'm telling Spn should launch immidiately another sports channel with HD variant

Those attractive rights of SPN is giving them almost nothing in term of profit(except ipl) and that's why they are not launching new chs [emoji6]

And on the other side star's so called in attractive rights are giving them so much return as profit that starsports chs are raining [emoji1]
