SONY blacks out telecast
Apr 30th, 2008 | By Aditya | Category: News
Today’s Bangalore vs Delhi match was nowhere to be seen on TV for some reason. SET MAX is showing some highlights of some old match because of “technical problems”.
This frustrates me endlessly. Firstly, they spend so much money obtaining the telecast rights - Literally millions of dollars, and then these kinds of things happen. I mean, this would be understandable if this was some new technology and it was buggy, but this is their bread and butter.
The $50 million IPL official website is also under the same issue. Half the time I’ve gone to the website, it doesn’t work, and when it does, it is totally outdated. I mean, the official kolkata knightrider’s website is much more interesting!

Set Max and BCCI are both shit ! they just care about how much money can they make and their professional service to their “customers” who are supposed to have high levels of loyalty with sports is crap. Sony has been giving problems since the beginning of this tournament…the advertising thing , the ad time , cutting coverage , camera views , showing cheerleaders , now the BLACKOUT ! BCCI is shit and so is SONY !
Yeah… But hopefully all this money will make them become more professional going forward. All we can do is hope!
Yeah - hear you on the iplt20.com site not quite living up to standards. We’re working on it. Totally a case of the last minute nature of this.
Great writing btw, keep it up.
The iplt20.com site is a very good site when its working. The live streaming feature will let everyone watch the match all over the world.
