Star has a vital presence in major regional languages.I think people prefer Star bouquets than individual alacarte and they are promoting it well. National Geographic is included in all Star bouquets.At the same time Discovery's bouquet only get activated if we purchase separately. People will prefer bouquets of Gec's then Sports and tries to reduce purchasing infotainment,english etc for controlling money. For those who purchase stars bouquets NGC will be there and Unless people people won't purchase Discovery will not be there. So Do it make NGC wider reach than Discovery? Like that since sony is not present in south some type people go for sony after purchasing Sun, star, zee, viacom so that BBC Earth's reach also affected. Mostly in case of infotainment channels people have a mentality that if they get they will watch otherwise not watch.
Bro,Discovery Family HD pack is only Rs.9 with the channels:
Discovery HD World , Animal Planet HD World , TLC HD World, Discovery Kids ,D sport , Discovery Jeet HD ,Discovery Science and Discovery Turbo.
Wherein Discovery HD and Animal Planet is good channels for infotainment that too in HD, D Sports for sports lovers, Discovery Kids for Kids.
If all networks,keeps channel bouquet like this atleast those who are DDF members having enough knowledge by following our forum will surely take this bouquet.For sure iam going to take this. Those who are paying Rs.40 for sun then why not Rs.10 for Discovery in HD.
Coming to Sony, Sport lovers atleast will select Bouquet of Rs.19 with Sony Six , Sony Ten 1 or Sony Ten2(Rs.17) , Sony BBC Earth and Sony Yay.
Because mostly all the international matches rights are with Sony except few like matches in India ,ICC Matches ,Bangladesh and New Zealand.
