Which channel will telecast the India vs Pakistan series? I have gotten a lot of comments from the cricket fans on my blog. I did not answer them because I had to be sure about it. Now, I am informing all cricket fans that Nimbus owners Neo Sports channel will telecast the one-day internationals series between India and Pakistan. Only Neo Sports has the right to telecast the series but it permitted Doordarshan to telecast one-day internationals alongside NEO Sports.

India-Pakistan matches are always exciting to the fans of both the countries. The people of both country love cricket very much. Other important issue is the both country have a conflict in every matters and it reflects on cricket too.

Perfetti, Hero Honda and Future Group are anchor sponsors which have signed up with Neo for three years. The agreements with various sponsors also take into consideration that the ODIs will also be shown on Doordarshan. While Mr Manocha claimed that Neo has sold 10-second spots for around Rs 3.74-4 lakh, independent media buyers believe the slots for co-sponsors were sold for a little lower.

At the time of Twenty20, Prashar Bhariti failed to compromise with the ESPN channel to let telecast the match because of its high ad rate. Although NEO is earning huge profits from the series but it lets DD to telecast the match so that local people could see the match easily.

I know why the cricket fans are looking seriously, which channel will telecast the matches because during the World Cup Twenty20 all the cricket fans of India deprived of watching the matches. Anyway, now all the worried come to end and the local and satellite connected household will be happy to see this news.

Twenty20 World Cup Cricket : Doordarshan will Telecast the Twenty20 World Cup

After a long time discussion between Prasar Bharati and ESPN Star Sports has come to a commitment that DD may share all the matches India plays, the semi-finals and the final, irrespective of whether India reaches the final stages. For this they have to pay a huge number of money.

The Economic Times has reported two different articles that Sharing feed of the Twenty20 format is not mandatory for the private broadcaster, unlike one-day matches and Tests telecasts. However, officials in the I&B ministry and Prasar Bharati had insisted that since the event was of national importance, the feed of the Twenty20 series too should be shared with Doordarshan.

Meanwhile, ESPN-Star Sports has sold the series at rates about 100% higher than even the 2007 World Cup, with rates averaging Rs 2.75-Rs 3 lakh per 10 seconds. “The format is new, and India’s performance has been encouraging, so advertisers are keen on the series,” a media source said.

For this commitment, millions of cricket lovers in non-cable households will be able to watch ICC’s Twenty20 World Cup kick off in South Africa on September 11.
