I think Sony should self analysis now that what they have earned by marrying to Tata Sky ?
Before marriage they had a good romantic relationship with dishtv - Siti and d2h, they used to have the grand launch and viewership and now ? Their position in terms of viewership are same as before and their launches are flop.
How Sony did post their rift with dishtv - Siti and d2h:
Sony Pal - Flopped, converted to FTA tough fight with Zee Anmol.
Sony Yay! struggling to maintain their position in Top 5 bought Zee Q's content to air.
Sony Wah hit because of FTA.
Sony Max HD not in Top 5
Sony Rox HD not in Top 5
Sony BBC Earth, no. 1 because of their distribution push.
Bought TEN, shutting down TEN GOLF HD, TEN 1 is struggling to maintain it's top spot which it used to be under ZEE. Star Sports First gets more viewers then TEN 3 during non live event week.
Sony BBC Earth HD, Sony TEN 2 HD, Sony TEN 3 HD, Sony ESPN HD not enough distribution push.
Sony Marathi not in Top 5.
They positioned Sony Sab HD well while the launch.
Sony Le Plex HD - they wasted their premiers when they got zero viewers to watch it.
