No one can't predict future. But I don't think there will be any monopoly in sports sector. You got 3 big player. Discovery also has potential to be a big broadcaster. I don't see one broadcaster having every cricketing event in the future.

How do you see Sony and Zee merger?

New grounds for cricketing rights
How is Star going to cope up with this
Reliance Jio too going to pitch in as Sports Channel

Bidding for rights is going to hard take for BCCI.

Sports will continue to be one of the most important verticals for the combined group entity as Sony has been entrenched in that vertical for more than a decade.

"If Sony LIV makes Rs 150-160 crore out of that about 70 percent is sports. Compare this number to Rs 800 crore that (Dinsey+) Hotstar makes on the AVOD (advertising video-on-demand) side. Out of this, IPL alone is Rs 500-600 crore and other sporting properties is around Rs 200-300 crore. So, it is 7x of what Sony would make."

He added that it is cricket that is in the commanding position here as around 80 percent of the spending is cricket-led.

Even Sony used to attract strong ad dollars when the network had the rights of IPL.
Sony had registered around Rs 1,300 crore in ad revenues during the 10th edition of IPL.

To bridge this gap, it is expected that the merged entity will make big investments in sports especially with Sony bringing in $1.57 billion.

I guess Sony Pictures Network will not get rid of any ZEE brand, will carry all entities in very smart way.
They might start with baby steps by merging OTT together ZEE5 will merge in SONY LIV. But, sadly both OTT need to get good technician for their new app. Because, both lags a lot
SONY brand for high-end audience which includes Sony TV, Sony SAB, Sony Marathi, Sony Aath, etc
ZEE brand for melodrama watching audience which includes ZEE TV, ZEE NEWS and ZEE regional based GEC and News offerings.
& brand for English and foreign content & flix, & Pix, & Café, & Studios (rename SONY PIX, ZEE Café and ZEE Studios)
TEN brand for Sports
MAX brand for movies MAX, MAX 2, MAX CINEMA, MAX CLASSIC, MAX BOLLYWOOD, MAX ACTION and others
Anmol brand for re-run GEC Anmol and Anmol Pal
