I watched yesterday's cricket match in Sahara One for the first time as I didnt know that it was also telecasting the match. Before watching I said to myself "He is a private channel and wouldnt cut the cricket as DD does". But on the contrary it was other way around. He is cutting both the first and the last ball of an over. Moreover when a four is hit of the last ball of an over, we didnt know whether it was a four or a two. To add to the woes, whenever wicket falls, the next 2 deliveries are guaranteed to be not shown.
When looking at all these, Doordarshan is better off in many ways. Although he is ad prone, he is ready to cut the ad and take us to the first delivery of an over which is n times better than Sahara One. Gone are the days where ESPN and STAR sports were telecasting the Indian matches. They are the real pros and they still are. I remember last they telecasted the Indian tour of Australia which was done excellently. If only giving high money to BCCI is the motto and grabbing the rights is the way, then we are going to have this night mare for very long time. Quality telecast of good matches is more important than just getting the name of telecasting it.
If that was the case in cricket, here comes 2 television channels which reply to each other political party's questions in a programme so called as NEWS. For quite sometime, I didnt knew that for watching tamil news, you must first watch Jaya TV at 7:30 PM followed by Sun TV at 8:00 PM. If you try to watch only one News bulletin, you might find yourself left behind in some of the information they give. It is actually a reply to the questions raised by the other TV. Thank God we have some option called NDTV and CNN-IBN else it would be pathetic to watch the NEWS.
