Telling the world

The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Prasar Bharati to respond to the suggestion of ESPN and STAR India to start a Doordarshan channel devoted to the ongoing Cricket World Cup, covering nine matches that India plays.

Star Movies is tutoring viewers on the best excuses they could make for the Oscar day, to stay home and watch the Oscars live to beat the Monday blues. Some classics like Aunt Sick, Conjunctivitis, Neck Pain, Fainting and many more creative ideas have already been shared on-air. The movement has gained popularity online where Star Movies urged its followers to submit their excuses with #AwardWinningExcuses.

Star Sports has been broadcasting it over 2 HD channels and have been offering advertisers packages where they can separately advertise on the HD feed. According to media planners and marketers the ad rates for the HD feed is estimated to be in the range of Rs.1-1.5 lakh for a 10 second spot. This is attractive for marketers considering the estimated Rs.5 lakh per 10 second spot for SD channel feeds.
