DomainK Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Good. I hope they are fined heavily and made an example of for all channels to learn from.
hitman1980 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I hope they get banned and kicked out of sports business.. and the same for SET Max too :D
Sachinism Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I think it may be the ads that used to appear on the field when the bowler was running in and you could see them behind the keeper and then they'd suddenly disappear BTW all Indian channels should be fined, they're all pathetic
flamy Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 fabulous! I didn't expect our consumer courts to respond so quickly :woot: Also, they must be made aware that the last balls of an over and the replays of a wicket are also cut :finger: I am lucky to watch it on the net without ads. But, India being the biggest consumer and basically the money pit is being horrendously shortchanged.
Sachinism Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/video_audio/498419.html Audio of discussion about this topic between Harsha Bhogle, Sambit Bal and someone who's name I can't remember. But some good points raised
Manny_Pacquiao Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 neo cricket and set max do the same thing ten cricket did. its only a matter of time before channels have to release alternative broadcasts available for purchasing at a premium.
panesarv Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Its not only Ten sports. All other channels showing Cricket do this!
Desi Cartman Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 why blame Ten sports only. Stupid Max shows 30 second ads between deliveries in the IPL .. Micromax :finger:
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 About fkin time. Watching cricket has become tedious. They even started advertising right in the middle of the screen. Did anyone notice the TV ads on top of the painted ads on the ground near the keeper?
Zelig Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I don't know about you gaiz, but I prefer ads to L.S.Lal combo :((
fineleg Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 *someone pinch me* am I dreaming? IB Ministry is doing something right? Fantastic!
Gotham Cronie Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I hate watching these channels and literally a second after the end of the over it cuts to commercials and then next thing you know, they come back to the bowler running in at the beginning of the next over. It's ridiculous how much Sky Sports are better than these clowns.
Jersey #10 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Neo needs to sued for all that and for overusing the purple color in their broadcast. A friend from India was telling me how Doordarshan had better coverage of the Ind-SA series than ten sports. It's ridiculous how much money these idiots make and still can not offer proper live coverage.
b555 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 *someone pinch me* am I dreaming? IB Ministry is doing something right? Fantastic! :hysterical:
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 A friend from India was telling me how Doordarshan had better coverage of the Ind-SA series than ten sports. That's because Doordarshan doesn't pay for the coverage.
Mariyam Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 That's because Doordarshan doesn't pay for the coverage. Which is actually unfair to those channels who have to dish out millions for coverage rights. But this situation won't last for long. Its untenable for the channels and the general viewer. The relevant act will be amended and treat DD as any other private channel when it comes to live sports broadcasts. I am as annoyed as the next person by the invasive ads and pop ups, but think of it from the point of view of the channel. They have to maintain public interest in their channel and generate revenue. And many a times the two are contradicting courses of action.

It's ridiculous how much money these idiots make and still can not offer proper live coverage. Ironically DD was the one who started the trend of showing too many ads others have just gone one step further, yes there coverage was only slightly better than Ten cricket, considering they don't pay for the coverage they shouldn't be showing so many ads
SachDan Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Its not only Ten sports. All other channels showing Cricket do this! why blame Ten sports only. Stupid Max shows 30 second ads between deliveries in the IPL .. Micromax :finger: Without an iota of doubt, Ten Cricket's broadcast of Ind-SAF series was truly the worst of all time. It was more like showing cricket in an ad show.

The decision for the special rights to DD was taken keeping in mind a large number of viewers in India who dont have access to private channels but love to watch Cricket. However, the "free" part is something I can not understand. DD should be made to share some of the financial burdens in these cases.
