Important ICC gets 17 bids for media rights

[Deepu]

In response to its invitation to tender issued in July 2014, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has received 17 bids from various broadcasters across different territories for audio-visual rights in respect of ICC events during 2015–2023. All bids are now in the process of being reviewed for compliance with the terms and conditions of the tender arrangements. At this stage, the ICC declined to provide further details.

Three events are in India. One can expect Star and Sony to fiercely compete for the rights. The ICC is expecting to earn a whopping $2.4 billion for the media rights. The previous eight-year rights were sold to ESPN Star Sports for $1.2 billion. The winner is expected to be announced in December.

Shrini will declare the winner in a weeks time.

There is no need for Srini to declare, its a known fact that STAR will emerge victorious for ICC, and Sony will continue to hold IPL rights. It will be a understanding and Star/FOX may go one step ahead and award 'KFC Big Bash' rights to Sony. So there will be a business understanding and Srini will mediate in between.
