Broadcasting & Sponsors Update

harry191

HIgh time the aiff should disclose whats going on with these 2 major issues...

We have heard of PIX,Tenaction+,ESPN being linked to the coverage..

What aiff can do if they are failing to negotiate that they can atleast ask DD sports and DD national to telecast them..
and give the live feed to all the regional channels.

i want to see the federation cup ,I league this time around ....

PLease post any updates instantly as u get them..

and what about the sponsorers no idea whats going on still the wiki and aiff page shows ONGC as the title sponsores..Give me a break man...

where is the 700 million deal gone with IMG reliance

For Fed Cup telecast AIFF received a very good proposal from a regional bengali cxhannel compared to other channels.IMG is reluctant to provide telecast rights to any regional channels.For I league I heard ESPN and Max are in race.Not sure about others.This month end picture will be more clear.

AIFF are right , regional channel will be very bad.

Prevents fans across Indian watching the matches in Kolkata
Kolkata fans can always go to the stadium. If they show the games on Kolkata TV like IFA shield did, then the stadiums will again be empty.

Absolutely.

The fact is the national broadcasters are not willing to pay more than Rs 20 Cr for all-India telecasting, and the regional channel Rs 30 Cr (isn't it funny?); IMG-R expects more. So the haggling is going on, and even though I-league and the Fed Cup are round the corner (so much so, the all the teams have started training and programs are announced), there is no sign of telecast, nor there are any publicity. No news on the Title Sponsors front as well. It's sickening!!!
