[Raju lal]

What is the 'good news',Star loose it or Sony got it?Anyway Congrats Sony for the catch.

Sony is now a threat for Star Network. it's good for customers in a way to end monopoly of star network

I don't think so.After IPL sony is ruling Sports genre.

They are now a days performing quite well. They performed very well in world cup transmission also. They are becoming the major sport content provider in India.

Indirectly they're grabbing more things and telling Star there is many things apart from Cricket.

I think the prefix should be breaking news, good news is not appropriate because it is looking like if any other network (like star,dsport) would have won this it would have been a bad news for us.

Plz update the thread suffix as breaking news.

But being practical you are true CRICKET is the main highlight to become successful sports channel in India.

by grabbing more live events Sony can maximize the revenue and ultimately can extend cricket rights too. i know it will take time

Sony will only go for all other remaining rights as Star is now not interested in acquiring others rights after huge amount gone for IPL rights.

Bad News...Since It Is 2020, Star Would Have Done Better In The Growing Technology. First Sony Should Improve In Cricket Broadcast. But Why No Body Contested For Rights Against Sony And They Take It For Just $12 Million...?
