ESPN India to be rebranded as Fox Sports

[abchopra2010]

I ask about ESPN because its broadcasted pan asia. It cant be renamed if the JV is only for india. They'll have to go and a new channel will come on.

ESPN in Pan-Asia is part of JV. So Pan Asia its only Star now.

In fact the very 2nd line of the article

"The announcement, made on Wednesday, ends a 16-year association and means News Corporation will own all ESS business in Asia."
Its more like Star News becoming ABP News.
ESPN may become like Star Action Sports, Star Prime Sports or something

I got the point now. Thanks Vrij & Sabir! I was under the impression that the JV is splitting, as against Star buying out the share of ESPN!

Not ESPN India. Only out of India, other Asian countries, ESPN is re-branded to FOX SPORTS.
For Indian market they are considering to use STAR or FOX name.
Indiantelevision.com > News Headlines > Star to take charge of News Corp’s sports biz in India; rest of Asia to be under FIC

I guess in 2-3 months we could see changes for ESPN India as well.
