MUMBAI: Riding high on the two cricket series that India plays against Australia and England, Neo Sports Broadcast is targeting a subscription revenue of Rs 1.5 billion this fiscal.
The sports broadcasting company is looking at a revenue of Rs 500 million from digital platforms while analogue cable would contribute the balance Rs 1 billion.
"We are targeting pay-TV revenues of Rs 1.5 billion. We are ramping up subscriber numbers from cable TV operators and new sales is coming from interior markets," says Neo Sports Broadcast president affiliate sales Arun Poddar.
Neo has inked distribution deals with new direct-to-home (DTH) service providers Big TV and Bharti Airtel Digital TV. It is also available on Tata Sky which has a subscriber base of 2.7 million.
"We are in talks with Dish TV and Sun Direct and hope to be available on their platforms soon," says Poddar. Dish TV is the market leader with 3.94 subscribers while Sun TV has mopped up over one million customers.
Neo has signed up with all the major multi-system operators (MSOs) except Sun Group's SCV. "We are looking at a composite deal with Sun Group for cable as well as DTH. Our connectivity has gone up to 73 per cent. During the cricket events, we have almost 85 per cent connectivity. says Poddar.
Neo Cricket, which has the exclusive broadcast rights for all International and domestic cricket played in India, is telecasting live the four-Test series against Australia and the two Tests and seven ODI matches against England. The channel is targeting advertisement revenues of Rs 3 billion from the two series.
Neo Sports Broadcast owns and operates Neo Cricket and Neo Sports.

Dish Tv Is counting channels only they are not serious about quality of channel. their business strategy is very poor. They have large no of subscriber but the growth of business after Tata Sky and sun dth launch DishTv well behind... I think They will lose many subscriber with in a year.. If they are not serious about their comitment. Airtel Digital Tv will be success because they are really want customer satisfaction.. Yes Neo Cricket and neo sports will be available... Its True.
This is not false as u can observe the symbol on the left of the neo sports they display the bcci rights
BCCI declared few years back that all matches played in India are property of BCCI & should bear its logo. So from that time all broadcasters started adding BCCI logo. Even Sahara, DD also had logo. The logo is also displayed on all channels worldwide like SKY SPORTS UK (& ZEE SPORTS USA too)
