Earlier ESPN Was Totally Related To Soccer.. STARSports Was Tennis and Others With Overlapping Soccer. and These Two Channels Shared STARCricket's Hindi Commentary... How Hierarchy Has Changed... Its STARSports The Number 2 Channels In The Bouquet Not ESPN...

laliga,seriea,f1,tennis,india cricket,hockey-all first priority on star sports.why?
Earlier,star sports was to telecast australian open,espn to ind-eng in hindi.
First match was also seen on espn for few overs.After they changed to aus-eng for espn,hindi feed to star sports.
They changed the australia open to espn only when india match was there.

Even International Football matches timings are going to be changed because of increasing viewers from India and other Asian countries. Both ESPN and FOX are strong brands.

Changing name would be part of creating a unified International brand value.

no brother star india owned by news corparation espn from fox international.news corparation bought 40 persent stack from fox international.that is the relation between star and espn.

you are wrong buddy..... ESPN is owned by walt disny not by fox international and fox international is a part of news corporation..... ESPNSTAR was a joint venture between ESPN Inc (Jointly owned by The Walt Disney Company and Hearst Corporation) and News corporation. In which now the stake of ESPN inc was fully bought by news corporation... thats why they are renaming ESPN as fox sports

I think they need Another All Sports channel and allow Star Cricket specially for Cricket.
If they rebrand starcricket & starcrickethd to all sports channel but 1st preference should be cricket,then half of the problem will be solved.

It is good if they launch a specific channel for india cricket & hockey.Because they are showing india cricket nplace of other important matches.They are n't showing australia open due to ranji match on hd and kfc ,hil on sd:beat:
