IPL Media Rights 2023-2027

[Duke]

If Sony has won the TV rights and Hotstar won the digital..Sony along with Zee might also take digital rights for Zee5 as Sony has the option to challenge the winner of B.

That is not possible since they have entered the Auction seperately and I'd Sony has won the TV rights then only they can challenge digital rights winner....

What if the surprise is that Star and Hotstar don't win any of the A and B rights.

A to Sony and B to Voot is the surprise.? or
A to Viacom18 and B to Hotstar is the surprise.?

I think most likely is the second scenario A to Viacom18 and B to Hotstar as per latest info A is challenging B

will any company come with a 30 sec ad if it cost more than a crore

Not sure about the authenticity but if this is true it would be a shocker, need to take Zee5 membership ASAP before they hike it to 1500/year

I dont think this is true because as per news winner of Package A has challenged Package B

If Zee and Sony had won there would be no challenge

They have entered the auction separately..But the merger is also on the cards. Sony can buy the Digital for Sony Liv. They are not gonna pay now. After the merger, they will become a single entity and they can show IPL in Zee5 instead of Sony Liv.

Sony was not bidding for digital rights only Zee was competing with Disney and Viacom18

If they wont merge OTTs, then its a blunder mistake.

I still believe it will be Viacom18 as they are in desperate need of cricket property
