I don't care what others says. Casual viewers have stopped caring about IPL. Has stopped watching it altogether. It has gone from being most entertainment thing on TV. To a serious sporting competition. Need those glorious days back.Will that mean the return of Extraaa Innings T20?
Yes that's they're saying we'll launch more Games n Sports channels n Zee n Sony corp will invest all money to get IPL at any costWill that mean the return of Extraaa Innings T20?
Monopoly on the way!Cricket will remain the catalyst because at the end of this year, the IPL rights will come up for sale again. Those in the know say “SPN India has managed to convince its board in the US that they would need to loosen purse strings to buy cricket rights in India if Sony were to take on rivals when bidding takes place for IPL rights.
Sony realizes that it lost traction in terms of engagement with consumers when it lost all cricket rights in India five years ago”.
Game of glorious uncertainties: ‘Sony-Zee merger has cricket written all over it’ - Times of India
The news-making deal that marks the merger of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. with Sony Pictures Network India (SPNI), bringing an end to a two-year speculation and close to eight months of being in the pipeline, has cricket written all over it.m-timesofindia-com.cdn.ampproject.org
You need to watch "sports" on sports channels that comes bundled with Star's basic packs. And watch the content offered on one channel Sony Ten 3 that comes with Sony's pack. Than you will see the difference.
Whatever this will create monopoly, competition will not be there like when Star Sports had all broadcasting rights they had all broadcasting rights which created monopoly and gets all freedom to price pack on whatever rate they want. They even added useless channels in packs.
Please read what you wrote. You said. There won't be any monopoly when one broadcaster had everything. How does it make sense?
