Massive Shatranj by IMG-R to destroy I-League. the people who were happy that I league will be broadcasted by Star will cry now. I-league to be available only on Star First. Star first is a new free to air channel which will broadcast low quality sport like local state cricket, local kabaddi, local badminton etc this means star views I league as low quality shit. 2nd thing is this channel will be Hindi only channel which mean no English commentary for I-league. 3rd thing is this channel won't be available on any leading DTH or Cable you will have to buy a Anttna/dish to view this there is also no live streaming of this channel on hotstar. while isl will remain on star sports premium channels.
please put a hands up for someone who did NOT expect this. its upto i league clubs to come together (something they have NEVER done) & get ileague out of FSDL who has a very obvious conflict of interest. writing letters to aiff won't help and it should be obvious to all ileague clubs by now.

From a business point of view, nobody is going to make it unavailable for DTH and Cable.
