Murdoch's Star Group gets Rs 3,851 cr broadcast rights for Indian cricket

Star Group's India CEO Uday Shankar said, "I thank the BCCI for giving Star the broadcast rights. In collaboration with our partners ESPN, we will do a commendable job," he said.

Advertisers will have to pay more post Star-BCCI deal

STAR TV has paid Rs 3,851 crore for the deal, much above the amount paid by Nimbus. Evidently, STAR will have to bring in a 25 per cent hike in revenues from its latest acquisition in order to compensate for the difference.
