Doordarshan’s world cup is over before it began.

Filed under: Cricket, Doordarshan, India, Sport, TV, World Cup — Nimish Batra @ 7:57 pm

Open The Hindu for Friday, March 23rd.

Open page 14 (I’m assuming you have the main paper of the city edition for Delhi.)

Under the news wrt G-33… right under it, in the left forming a sidebar.

Doordarshan yet to send team to West Indies

Wow.

Now that the Indian team is returning home, will the gov’t channel even want to send a team?

And the hindi commentary – was it by NEO Sports’ team in the Windies or was it DD in their Delhi studios?

All that wrangling over TV rights, the central communcation minister calling NEO Sports unpatriotic  because they had dared to stand up and refuse the demand by DD to share the live match feed.

When you get to the bottom of that article, read this one. And this one.

NEO Sports has got one bad problem. [insert snakes on a plane joke]

I don’t write conclusions.

They’re mine, and I don’t share. You go get your own.
