Indian TV rights hearing Sept 9


The Mumbai High Court will hear the case regarding ESPN-Star Sports and BCCI on Thursday, September 9.

ESPN-Star Sports had earlier challenged the Indian board's decision to award the four-year telecast rights, of matches to be played in India, to Zee Network.

Zee Network on Monday agreed to shell out a staggering 308 million dollars to secure the rights to telecast all international cricket played in India for the next four years.

The matter was due to come up for hearing on Tuesday, but was postponed, reportedly because the BCCI received the summons late.

Also ESPN-Star Sports has sought more details and clarifications from the BCCI and Zee.
