Breaking Viacom 18 acquires Fifa World Cup 2022 rights

[Akkumawat]

They can risk IPL but not ICC or BCCI

101 % viacom will buy ipl or indian cricket rights .hopefully star now shut 2 unnecessary channals, start buying sports rights coz we all knows when star push or try to elevate something (kabbadi league ) nobody is better than them.

I think ICC, bcci and ipl rights will remain with star. As star is whole dependent on this rights.. They are not fool.
But the competition will be very tough.

They are not fool but bcci is also not fool
They will sell rights whoever throw more money and in this case u cant beat ambani

Yes I agree. In future ready to see more sports properties on Viacom along with more .Ready to see major sports on Viacom only in future be it Cricket, Football you name it.I will not be surprised to see others struggling. Just see how they brought the FIFA World cup rights.

Hopefully, next acquisition by Viacom18 is IPL after 2022 (after the rights expires from star).

I think one of them from icc or bcci

I would definitely not want them to grab the rights. Voot sucks, we don't want video buffering at their mercy...

Their PQ is better than Hotstar. Also contrary to opinions here, i did not face any such buffering during the 3 matches i watched. The only issue i have with them is their highlights. They don't have HD/FHD resolution for it.

Based on my Usage, the quality and performance seems good. Occasional live feeds of Viacom18 channels and some Voot Select shows

They could be one of the broadcaster who can actually provide a 4K feed. I am expecting 4K broadcast of World Cup atleast on JioTV for JioFiber users.

1. Their TV UI sucks big time.
2. Their mobile UX is slow on a medium speed internet.
3. Contents that are not live are not clear (maybe resolution). Hotstar and Sony LIV are way better at it
4. Buffering is the only constant while trying to stream BB OTT on TV (I have a very high speed internet and that should not have mattered here)..

When their 1080p live streams are blurry on Voot, how do you expect them to provide 4K ..

I said on JioTV via JioFiber not on Voot. If Tata Sky can offer 4K via Internet. Can't see one of the biggest ISP not providing 4K on it's IPTV service.

Ok how about those users who don't have Jio fiber or Jio sim? They have to rely on that atrocious voot na...
