SC seeks response from Prasar Bharati for launching a new channel for India's cricket matches

[Deepu]

The Supreme Court has sought response from Prasar Bharati over the feasibility of launching a separate channel to broadcast India's cricket matches during the World Cup. Prasar Bharati will have to submit its reply by Thursday.

Prasar Bharati has challenged a high court order which restrained Doordarshan from sharing match feed with cable operators.

Star India which has the exclusive right to telecast the World Cup matches, sharing its feed with Doordarshan. While Star India charges Rs 18 per subscriber, DD enables a free telecast. In turn, cable operators take feed from Doordarshan for free causing a huge revenue loss to Star India.

SC wants to know whether DD can provide separate feed channel of Cricket matches instead of airing on DD National

They could air that on DD Sports instead of showing it on DD National

DD Sports is also FTA and is available on Cable
