Ipl Media Rights Auction

The confusion over picking Shashank Singh by Punjab Kings at the IPL 2024 auction has led to a social media storm

Manish Tiwary had only been in his new job as head of Amazon.com Inc.'s India business a couple of months when he faced a weighty decision: How aggressively should the US e-commerce giant bid for media rights to the Indian Premier League?

The big headline from this IPL media rights auction was the emergence of digital as the big brother, as it trumped the amount that was paid for the TV rights.

Online rights to the popular annual cricket tournament were awarded to Viacom18 Media Pvt., a joint venture between Paramount Global and Mr Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd.

Viacom18 Media — a joint venture between Paramount Global and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries — won the digital streaming rights to the Indian Premier League, outbidding entertainment giants including Disney and Sony, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The media rights auction for the world's richest cricket league, which has media giants like Disney and Sony Corp vying for broadcast rights that could fetch India's cricket board upwards of $6 billion, has spilled over into the third day.

The highly-awaited media rights auction for the Indian Premier League is likely to see four bidders including Viacom18, Disney Star, Zee and Sony according to an ANI report.

Examining the IPL bid through the prism of glasnost suggests that in the form of the IPL, Star India have a winner on their hands. What's more, you, the consumer, won't need to bear the burden of the 16 thousand crore bid.

The rights on offer were Indian sub-continental TV rights, which is the most coveted along with emerging Indian sub-continent digital rights.

The bidding for various media rights auction of the cash-rich league for a five-year period from 2018-2022 will take place in Mumbai on Monday.

The notice comes in response to a plea from Subramaniam Swamy.

Digital media rights for IPL are up for bids for five years starting in 2017. Over a dozen companies are bidding for the rights, including Twitter, Star TV and Sony Entertainment.
