Sony Six to show Serie A from 2015/16 onwards

[ayanc99]

Don't rely on their Twitter, they give info most of the time they are not aware of.

For example, their cc informed me by mail they don't have ban v pak rights and then they show the entire series. Check mail below -

Dear Ayan,

Thank you for writing to Star Sports.

Broadcasting rights vary from series to series and country to country.

With regards to your query, we would like to inform you that we do not have broadcasting rights for Pakistan vs Bangladesh series. We request you to stay tuned to our website http://www.starsports.com for any updates with regards to the upcoming tournament in future.

Thank you for your support.

Will you'll be showing the series between Bangladesh and Pakistan which is starting from next Friday with the first one day international? Please reply asap. Regards, Ayan Chakraborty

Hey ru guys blind or mad...
Ss often showed 3 games simultaneously...
Their coverage of LA liga was great ...they showed every game possible...
Wid ten it was only 2-3 games a week...
Sony will ruin it as dey will show max 2-3 games a week.. .

 

[ayanc99]

Ten did not have serie a rights alone. They shared it with Neo. So every week 6-7 games were shown live. While on star it was max 2-3 except in the last two weeks when they showed 6/7 games. Although they did show all games live online except 2/3 weeks.

I'm not talking about serie a ..
Its about LA liga ...some members are soo dumb they didn't realise how they screwed LA liga ....only real barca and ATM games were shown....
Star showed almoat every game of LA liga
Now its final that we won't see 3 simultaneous series a games ever....

Star can keep La liga rights n show bull sh#t matches, who cares! I wish they don't take serie a rights and ruin Serie A fans.

How many times this season has star shown 3 serie a games simultaneously, can you tell me? As per my count it's not more than 2/3 times.

Also fyi last year there was hardly any India cricket at home. This year South Africa visits for 5 odis n 3 t20s. Star will show it on 4 channels. And isl is on from oct to dec, so that will be on another 2 channels. Then you have epl, bundesliga to accommodate in 2 channels not to forget la liga whose rights have ended this year with star and whose bidding has not yet started even in Spain forget about India. If star gets la liga then unless they launch two more channels which their CEO said today they will launch more channels then we have to watch all matches online only next season!

 

[sgmr21]

That is a valid point of Indian games at homes
May screw things up....
But its unlikely they launch any more channel I guess ...
BT star should try nd retain LA liga games ....
But serie a should have gone to ten ....other than star...
But star whenever got free time slot they showed serie a....or else it was impossible with LA liga nd bpl along too...
Bundesliga will be affected cause its timing ....
At 7 nd 10 mostly....

 

[ayanc99]

Now you don't even have to wait till October. Even the season start will be under pressure as Pro Kabaddi League is starting from 18th July and will continue till 23rd August with matches practically everyday.

PKL will be shown on 4 channels, 2 English and 2 Hindi and with Ashes cricket on 2 channels, EPL and Bundesliga which starts on 8th and 15th August respectively will have limited coverage unless they launch two more channels.

Guyz the problem is there are many simultaneous matches which none of the indian sports channels can telecasted unless they share the matches telecast between them.
