Hi Guys
This is now a week of newly launched Star Sports 1 Bangla and here are some reviewable thoughts :-

1.Program Contents:-
SS1BANGLA have launched and on air with 4 programmes on the board 24 hrs. Namely IPL Highlights - ISL Highlights - ISL ATK Special and India vs Australia Series Live & Hls. They also started airing a special program on ATK named "ATK in our Heart" frequently in every 2 hrs.So lack of variety in program Boarding is main problem right now. Irritating part is that after so promised the channel failed to bring Bengals Team Ranji and ongoing Syed Mustaaque Ali Cricket LIVE with I-League matches in Bangla. Also no local league fixture (in any Sporting Event) have been disclosed yet for Live Action.

2.Pre/Post Shows & Studios:-
The Pre and Post Shows of Cricket and ISL are looking extremely good and Anchored by RJS are also looking interesting with the help of modern Studio Setup the whole Discussive Coverage looking awesome. The Panelists and Commentators for Football & Cricket LIVE are good but not at best.
Most disgusting part is a Former Footballer is roped in for giving Commentary in Cricket LIVE. If this trend continues then it can be assumed the wiered situation in upcoming WCUP 2019 Bangla Commentary's future!

3.Logo & Graphics:-
The graphics been used by SIPL is good to watch and the translation from English to Bangla also looking good.They have really done a good job. But as for Standard Definition Channel in 4:3 aspect ratio broadcast the Logo sometimes look very bigger for Live Sporting action. SIPL should reduce the logo size and make fit properly for a better viewing pleasure.

4. Channel Promo & Theme:-
Channel has no telecasted their own Bangla Promo except of Promos for IPL this season - so there are also lacknesses regarding promotion of an independent channel to reach out with its vivid aspects towards audiences.Same can be said with the Theme Song which features Sourav Ganguly and eminent Superstar Dev have telecasted only in 2 times for a whole week and that too is very much disappointing approach.
A Brand New Promo this season IPL in Bangla is on air just from now and it also includes ⭐Jalsha Movies (HD broadcast in Bangla during IPL is in doubt!)

5.Marketing & Distribution:-
The marketing front of SIPL is not so upto the mark because the channel itself carrying very low ads during its program and that's all for LIVE ISL and India vs Australia Series only and the rest is are all channel Promos and that too of Jalsha and Plus Serials Promos.
SIPL have not distributed well this SS1BANGLA channel with various DPOS of Cable & DTHs so now till this channel is not available in almost major DPOS platforms.

6.Subscription:-
It is also noticeable that the subscription rate of this channel is too high to subscribe comparing with HD Feed subscription. Rs.22.42/- is too much for SD Feed as the same in HD feed can be subscribed with same rate.
As a LCO MSO in Kolkata this channel is added on our platform and also included in Broadcasters boquet replacing SS1 hindi and now our Subscribers are feeling not so comfortable to purchase in lieu of SS1 Hindi SD or HD feed. And that will be very serious issue in upcoming days without HD Variant nowadays Sports Channel subscription is in deep muddy water. And added salt on a wound - SIPL have decided to simulcast IPL Matches for Sat-Sun in Bangla also with Jalsha Movies and it is thoughtful that this decision can be a bumerang for new subscription for SS1BANGLA in IPL seasons.

So in overall overview SS1Bangla promised a lot before launching but failed to deliver actual perception to the audience in all above mentioned Genre.

Ratings :- 5/10

Surprised to see that Star Not promoted SS1 Bangla n no Promos also launched for its launch on Star Jalsha, Movies .. I think they not got much viewership from recently launched SS1 Telugu n Kannada so not invested much in promos for SS1 Bangla :dodgy2:

Also, only Sun Direct has added the channel out of all the DTHs. Similar is the case with Sun Bangla where Airtel doesn't have it. Poor distribution for both channels leads to very poor visibility and brand recognition.

Sun Bungla Added on Dish-D2H
Good News - SUN BANGLA added by Dishtv

Right SS1 Bangla is exclusive to SunDirect. It needs to be distributed for all DTHs to get attention

Oh. I didn't notice. But it is still missing on Airtel. Airtel is busy adding Punjabi channels and forgetting about Bangla channels.
Why r you so jealous for that??
New punjabi is just launching this year
Airtel have not much punjabi to allure new customer
There r so many Bengali channels
