Breaking La Liga 2019-20 Season | Discussion , Results and Updates

I think it was you who made that suggestion to give us all matches with the click of red button like an interactive service. That is something DTH operators can look into. This way they don't need to launch more channels for the sake of it. I remember dishtv had Active option on Zee Sports where we also had option for changing camera angles. I really miss those days they were way ahead of their time but now in 2019 no one is giving such services which is shameful.

It was during 2007 world cup. We got camera angles on dish TV. Now it's gone.

I made that suggestion for broadcasters having certain rights but not televising it. Like Star prefers showing India Cricket on Star Sports Select as it boosts ad + subscription revenue , football cannot give same. In such instances i requested Star to show Premier League thru service feed by placing red trigger on their channel, this way all the needs of broadcaster and viewers can be met.

But again above discussion was not about this scenario, it only pertains to blackout events

This isn't changing anytime soon. IDK what's wrong with Sony all of a sudden. When they didn't have Ten channels they were really crazy about football and even got preseason friendly rights 2-3 years back and now when they have so many channels they don't care about it anymore. Sony had FA cup rights few years back when they didn't have sports channels (before Sony Six) yet they were punctual and broadcasted as many matches they could on Pix. You'd think they changed after all these years but even in 2019 football fans in India don't have assurance of their club matches being broadcasted. Shame!

I feel Sony ruined their own channels and competition by acquiring Ten. Logo is bad. Content curation is bad. They don't promote sporting events properly. Instead of promoting X Games, Impact Wrestling, UFC. They are promoting Olympics which will come next year. Same is with cricket promotion. They are doing it 6 months prior to actual events.

yes i forgot about pix and i am fully agree with you sony suddenly behaved strange in terms of showing football earlier they show friendly matches both europe and latin American countries but now they only showing europe country friendlies and thats not all one day i see when brazil played against one european country and match venu in prague they show that match and lastly if sony not want more sports channel they should use pix in late night kick off match in my view in india except football fan who else show english movies in late night so it will be good for sony also

Hyper competition and rise of number of channels has a role to play in this. Rights r costly, ad revenues have split across variety of chs across genres. This is why during 90's or early 2000's we got much better content access for major + important niche events. Even rating system has added to this problem, everything depends on it.

Till Indian Consumer changes mindset and is ready to pay appropriately for required content, things will remain same. Don't know why people hesitate in spending for content, we don't save money by this as money brands spend on ads comes from us itself and included in price of products. It is much better if one pays for content and gets other things from market at reduced prices bcoz of lesser ad spends needed. Ads need to be minor contributors to broadcaster revenue than depending mostly on it

This is specially needed for genres like Sports, News or even movies. GEC, Kids, Music can continue to be ad dependent. Look at what we r being served on hindi or regional news channels - useless debates, viral videos, Kim Jong Un, entertainment clips/news, jungle news and other weird stuff. They just take out videos from net and have special shows on it, i feel disturbed with this situation

I feel Sony ruined their own channels and competition by acquiring Ten. Logo is bad. Content curation is bad. They don't promote sporting events properly. Instead of promoting X Games, Impact Wrestling, UFC. They are promoting Olympics which will come next year. Same is with cricket promotion. They are doing it 6 months prior to actual events.

Infact i find Sony managing thing pretty well. They r showing so many live sports and even ones like XGames, Red Bull Race, Archery World Cup, Snooker etc. which hardly have viewers here. But i agree they r not good in promoting or packaging things

reason behind not open up about t.v rughts
MADRID: Spain's La Liga expressed its concern on Wednesday over federation plans to scrap non-weekend games in the fixture row overshadowing the build up to the August 16 start to the new season. Confusion reigned last week when the league issued a fixture list containing games on Fridays and Mondays, while spanish football federation released fixture which contain match only at weekend La Liga claim the decision jeopardises national and international tv contract worth rs more than 2 billion euros

Most of the rights are of European competitions that run usually late evening.
So dedicated football channels will not have any live content during day time or even prime time.
Moreover football games are 1.5 to 2 hours only, unlike cricket which runs for hours.
What they should have is more channels (HD in particular) allocated to telecast matches when 4-5 matches happen at the same time.
There cricket could be an issue, when clash occurs with timings. Cricket will take priority and football gets pushed to SD channels or to fewer live matches.
