India - South Africa Series 2010 Coverage

[Sushubh]

the timing is good considering the world cup and ipl are just weeks away.

Also during the program (for which I have pasted in the above posts) , it was mentioned that 12 mins/hr is the limit as per telecaster agreements & they should maintain quality of coverage (irrespective of program , sports or otherwise). In an average game we have 15 overs bowled per hour, and so roughly 7-8 minutes during overs - going by 30 seconds being a "fair" amount between overs and another 4-5 minutes for drinks/wickets. So actually speaking even showing logos/ads during replay etc itself infringes the policy. Ofcourse, the telecasters will try & argue related to ads on stumps, players, sightscreen , 3rd umpire decision screen etc to argue that since are allowed, they should be allowed as well..

Whatever it is.....the bottom line i have in my mind is - i will never switch on to Ten Cricket - irrespective of the fact that they get a penalty or they escape from it by showing lame excuses & may be bribing a few officials.

World Cup ad rate can touch Rs 24 lakh/10 sec - Yahoo! India Finance

High Ad-rates - hope they dont spoil the cricket as Ten Cricket did. But another point to note is that ESPN/Star are reponsible for ads in DD also & they have already made 75 Crores from it

I dont think any other group can stoop to the level of Zee Group.And, for those watching HD telecast, its no-matter at all!!

Ten cricket coverage - They are not allowing commentators to even complete their sentence before switching to ads..:hammer::iangry::iangry:

^ Poor guys have very few India series. They need to make the most of it with whatever little they have

 

[mhsabir]

They can stop before starting the sentence if they are so desperate

 

[Jignesh]

Ten cricket is the worst channel ever.

The coverage of WI tour is so far better compared to the last time SA series coverage.
