England Vs Australia | Ashes 2019 | News & Updates

They will most probably follow this strategy

- Showcase prestigious property like Ashes on Sony Six barring an overlapping situation due to WWE Live, wherein they will shift Ashes to Sony Ten 1 only for those hours or that particular day. If NBA too clashes will telecast timings of the above too then basketball will be given space on Ten 3.

So no need to worry, they will do proper adjustments understanding audience requirements.

I have noticed that Sony ESPN has remained clear of cricket except in urgent situations, maybe Sony has decided to keep it as destination for Fight Sports or ESPN does not approve of it. Anyways Sony has been doing fantastic job of serving sports fans despite operating in a challenging scenario.

Whatever happened to Sony Ten 4? As much I hate Star launching more sports channels. Sony really needs to add more.

They don't need it as of now, also Sony has been facing difficult times interms of distributing or earning subscription revenue from their premium channels hence plans to expand will be taken with caution.

Already Sony Pix, AXN, Sony BBC Earth hardly able to get TRP bcoz people are opting for channels or bouquet from other broadcasters while Sony comes in last in their bucket list. Also they r having plenty of sports channels and even sporting properties but revenue generating ones r very few. Infact post end of partnership with ESPN i don't see them even replacing it with a new channel or should i say SD channel might continue but HD has minimal chance

They literary need to sack everybody from the management of SPN. They have best PQ and great content. They don't know how to curated or promote any show/event properly. Look at AXN for example. I want to watch a show but I can't. Cuz, I don't know when it will come on TV. If I forget to record an episode. Then it's gone. Instead of repeats. They air movies. On SD channels there isn't repeat of flagship series. Look at the list of Sony Pix and Max has. Look at the one they air. And it was a stupid idea to not include BBC Earth in all the non sports centric bouquet. Sony India is there own enemy. They need to get their head out of TKMOC, Crime Patrol and CID.

Sack entire team? But the same team is the one which deserves credit for excellent quality in all aspects as well as managing things pretty well on most fronts. Sony is 2nd to Star interms of having profit or revenue, guess there was some article published regarding it few months back.

Well bhai, they r performing or putting in right effort but its the viewers who should take most of the blame. Remember why Le Plex or Rox had to shut down? Wasn't Sony trying to give us excellent content with top notch broadcast quality? Even look at Sony Pix or BBC Earth, both r having good library of shows/movies but why r viewers not opting for it? Reason is simple Star India , Viacom18 or Zee has stronger connect among people bcoz they have wider bouquet of channels across genres hence people put them in top of priority while sadly Sony gets left out. AXN or English GEC underperforming is a different story and already analysed in detail by me on previous occasions.

By the way , u do not get to know of shows on AXN bcoz of not being promoted well or bcoz of ur busy schedule? If u r forgetting to record which means u know about the show but cannot watch it on original timing, Sony cannot do much about this. Regarding promoting shows, they do so on their premium channels and sometimes even on regular channels but one should not expect big budget promotions as audience base is minimal which leads to limited earnings.

Coming to point of why they air movies , well it is simply to get more viewers tuning into their channel. Remember English Movies get 8 or 10 times more eyeballs than a regular English Entertainment program. This is not only bcoz people love watching movies but there is a sizeable chunk which despite knowing less or not understanding language at all , finds it interesting to watch the amazing action scenes or nicely put together animation stuff. Also flagship shows do air on AXN but they have certain niche properties which r exclusively aired on HD channels to create an added advantage.

Regarding BBC Earth, well i do agree they should include it in Basic version of Happy India Packs but they r inclined towards providing it a more premium look and urging people to pay little more for rich content offered on it

Nothing on AXN airs properly. No Top Gear, Survivor, The Amazing Race. I have to illegally stream everything. Even the timing of most programs are odd sometimes. It's 9:05 pm. It's 8:52 pm.
