One thing Viacom did wrong is choosing to broadcast on MTV HD. That channel is missing from 3 out of 4 DTH provider.

Whether we can watch india playing onhome cricket in jio cinema?

You already know that this is the wrong forum to ask that. Meanwhile you already got your answer both here and OnlyTech. Why are you spamming again bro?

Exactly. They still have distribution issues, where other sports broadcasters are present in almost on all the DPOs

Exactly what I have been saying over and over again.

Compare how many channels were available from Sony for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Big thumbs down to Viacom18 for havin only one Sports18 channel, leading to overburdening, and not properly promoting MTV HD or distributing it. Suddenly MTV SD is airing matches when it was not supposed to. Complete amateur strategy.

It is as though they are intentionally asking us to use JioCinema because there is no way to know which channel is showing which match.

Having a great panel of commentators is equivalent to having a great soft product, but the hard product (distribution and scheduling of the channels) is lacking. It is like flying in business class with the best food and drinks and friendly service, but the seat is so hard that you cannot sit or sleep.

Exactly my thoughts.
They are not capable enough yet, in terms of infrastructure to broadcast a mega event like WC football.

Back when Sony used to telecast they used Sony six and Sony max
Viacom using sports 18 and MTV I don't see difference

So,
Assam, Kerala and West Bengal has more Football Lovers 😎🤟

Meanwhile Assam and North Eastern region who generates ratings for Sports18 doesn't get commentary in their language. Yet, you will find Tamil commentary on JioCinema. This is called partiality.

For cricket. For NBA they used Sony Pix too.

If I was the producer. I would show goals in picture in picture of other match during a simulcasts to pique interest in both rhe matches. I don't get the lack of creativity these broadcasters has in 2022.
