Serani Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Modi should try and get in on BBC 3 or 4, not like there is anything on those channels most of the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serani Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 sky sports pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Somehow I dont think this will happen, Sky just dont seem like wanting IPL. They backed the whole Stanford thing over the IPL and are probably hoping Stanford somehow escapes from Jail and has a few tournamnents so sky can have advertising at the ground.

Feed Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 ITV buys IPL cricket rights Broadcaster to air 59 live matches on ITV4 from mid-March ITV has acquired the broadcast rights to this year's Indian Premier League competition. The deal will see the broadcaster air 59 live matches on ITV4. The IPL starts on 12 March and runs for 45 days. Coverage will be presented by Matt Smith with Bollywood actress and presenter Mandira Bedi who hosted Cricket World Cup coverage in India. The IPL will also have a specialist section on the ITV.com website and the tournament will be supported by a prominent marketing campaign on ITV. It is not clear how the deal fits with a previous agreement struck by YouTube in January to webcast live IPL matches globally. The IPL, which is an eight-team tournament of Twenty20 cricket, includes players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Jacques Kallis and Chris Gayle. English players participating in this season's tournament include Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah. "In only two years, the Indian Premier League has already established itself as one of the world's most high profile and exciting sports events which attracts some of the very best cricketers from around the globe," said the ITV director of digital channels and acquisitions, Zai Bennett. "It is an exciting acquisition for one of the UK's fastest growing digital channels and we're delighted to be able to offer the whole tournament free-to-air to our viewers." The chairman and commissioner of the IPL, Lalit Modi, said that he was delighted that the IPL tournament will be broadcast on a free-to-air channel. More...

Sachinism Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Cricket is to return to ITV for the first time in more than 30 years after the broadcaster acquired rights to this year's Indian Premier League competition. The deal will see the broadcaster air 59 of 60 live matches on ITV4. The IPL starts on 12 March and runs for 45 days. Coverage will be presented by Matt Smith with Bollywood actress and presenter Mandira Bedi who hosted Cricket World Cup coverage in India. The IPL will also have a specialist section on the ITV.com website and has the right to webcast matches. The tournament will be supported by a prominent marketing campaign on ITV. In the UK, the rights were previously held by pay-TV service Setanta, which collapsed last year. In January, YouTube struck a deal to webcast live IPL matches globally. The IPL, which is an eight-team tournament of Twenty20 cricket, includes players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Jacques Kallis and Chris Gayle. English players participating in this season's tournament include Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah. "In only two years, the Indian Premier League has already established itself as one of the world's most high profile and exciting sports events which attracts some of the very best cricketers from around the globe," said the ITV director of digital channels and acquisitions, Zai Bennett.
