Yes, now start worrying how Star and Sony would package their respective Sports channels, and how DTH companies loot us again
But now it would be good to know that there would be only 2 channels groups to look for while subscribing.
For me as of now, on Tata Sky we have all Sports channels subscribed, and on Airtel all HD channels (which includes all Sports channels) subscribed. Lets see what changes next, which may not happen in 2016 as of now as deal may take 3-4 month to complete.
Yeah...Expect for a small percentage.. nobody will be bothered about Neo channels.
Thing is. these guys are so cruel as to keep shifting content across channels & also bundling in such a way we would be forced to take two large bundles of 5+ HD channels... 4 HD channels, and Star manage to push EPL to a 5th (I dont watch EPL, but I can understand the pain)
With this acquisition, Sony will have rights to six cricket boards. It already owns the rights to Cricket South Africa (CSA), Sri Lanka Cricket, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and Zimbabwe Cricket.
Sometimes its better that rights are split across networks ... if not anything..to restrict monopoly.
For the price conscious it may be a loss as there might be need to subscribe to two networks instead of one
I was thinking same that Sony would be broadcasting Nidhas Trophy is Sri Lanka.
I guess these Trophy has nothing to do with Sri Lanka Cricket Board as it is organised for Sri Lankan Independence day anniversary.
