I think that AFC Cup TV Telecast is a more complex issue. Different countries are involved plus AFC do not have a uniform TV Telecast rights policy. Their sponsors also do not care much it seems. They leave it to host club. In this Cricket World Cup season, Star Sports will not bother about AFC Cup. There was some murmur about BFC testing their online channel. What hapened to that? Are they showing AFC Cup game on that?
ACL has Chinese, Japanese, Korean TV Audience because of their clubs and that is big bucks for TV channels, Sponsors and AFC. AFC Cup has relatively poor (TV Sponsorships) clubs, thus AFC is not that serious about TV telecast of AFC Cup. Having said that, few eyars ago when East Bengal reached Semi-Finals, that time many EB games were shown on TV. It is also upto BFC and EB to promote their games on TV channels for AFC Cup. Are they interested? I doubt it.
