80% share of the ESPN sports is owned by walt disney corporation
ESPN Star Sports ( ESS) is a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (through ESPN Inc., which it directly owns) and News Corporation (through Star TV)
Therefore,Star sports is a part of espn-star network
NEO Sports is an Indian pay television channel owned by nimbus communications
TEN SPORTS (i.e Taj Entertainment Network) is a sports channel broadcasted in asia,is owned by zee entertainment enterprises
and as we know,DD Sports is a state owned TV channel telecasting from Doordarshan Kendra Delhi owned by PRASAR BHARTI
the surprising thing is...we have got seperate channels for cricket as in STAR CRICKET,TEN CRICKET,NEO CRICKET....
ReplyDeleteA well-proportioned blog portraying various sports channels and the companies that own them.
ReplyDeleteWhat I hope to see is, more sports channels for other games like Golf, Tennis, Basketball,etc. We have Ten Cricket, Star Cricket, etc but how many dedicated channels do we have for sports that I mentioned above.
Do u know?... ESPN,STAR SPORTS & STAR CRICKET have offices in Gurgaon's cyber city...
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Ahmad..there should be specific sports channels for other sports too...but the big question is who will dare to invest in a channel exclusively broadcasting BasketBall or Hockey??Or is there adequate viewership available to watch these sports??
ReplyDelete@Anurag, I think adequate viewership will develop substantially once a channel for other sports is launched. Development takes time and effort. The good news is that Ten Sports is planning to launch a full-time Hockey channel in a few months, which I'm sure is a bright step in the right direction.
