shah2kool Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 no news yet by mr. modi then? m keenly awaiting someone to show this in the UK so i can subscribe"
Serani Posted March 1, 2010 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.
Serani Posted March 1, 2010 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.

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."
