Breaking NZC and Prime Video India Sign a Six Year Deal

[marvel44]

But Still !!! These Rights Will Definitely Be Shared With Star Sports/Sony Sports In Future Because:

LOL! Star & Sony did not want them in the first place why will lisence from Prime. India is playing only 3 ODIs in NZ in the next three years. Any ROI which Amazon plans is surrounded around that series. Atleast for attracting people they won't lisence to anyone. This deal is for attract people buddy, why will they loose their only selling point?

And BTW! You think Amazon thinks that people are not having subscription, so we shall share with others? That's the point where they will push people to subscribe for Prime.

Exactly Bro! Not Even Half Of India's Population Has The Prime Video Subscription. How Would They Watch The Matches Then?

People will get subscription if they want to watch. Frankly, I dont see many people getting Prime exclusive for this. Its like an added bonus for people who already avail prime services

Good and bad news. With sports coming to Prime Video. Expect Amazon to increase the price of Amazon Prime.

Streaming is costly and not so viable option in tier 2-3 cities. Why did Amazon brought this right? I think it's fate will same as FB-Laliga rights.

It's just testing the waters buddy! They would have got it very cheaply as very less Indian matches are scheduled. They can do all sorts of analytics before determining if they should bid for next cycles of Indian rights I guess.

Can they put ads between overs like Hotstar?

They have the tech for it. Even now they show ads of their shows while playing any video some times. But it's NZC rights, Star itself doesn't had many ads during NZ matches(excluding NZ V Ind). So there won't many ads

The season will start with the West Indies’ tour to New Zealand scheduled for later this month, followed by Pakistan’s trip. Amazon is expected to syndicate or sub-license these rights for this season. The entry of Amazon will help the sporting ecosystem.

Amazon Prime takes stance at streaming crease, starts sports live streaming in India
