The Rupert Murdoch-led Star Group has cliched a six-year deal from the BCCI for all international and domestic matches. In terms of sports, it offers at least similar turf as SET Max has earlier walked away with the prized IPL broadcast rights till 2017.

The six-year contract is valued at Rs 3,851 crore ($750 million) and will cover 96 matches in all. The Star Group beat Multi Screen Media (Sony).

Travelling for sporting events would be a pleasure as hosts go to great lengths to welcome travellers.

The STAR Network of channels says it has emerged the largest in India, for the first time. But the big breakthrough will be if Rupert Murdoch's Indian operations can lead the country's media and entertainment pack. He's getting there, fast.

From Facebook to LinkedIn, Twitter to Orkut, corporates are beginning to use various forms of social media to reach out to consumers, employees and partners, writes Kushan Mitra.

It’s still the leader in terms of eyeballs it attracts but STAR doesn’t dominate the way it once did, thanks to increasing competition from a clutch of new kids on the broadcasting block.

The competition, clutter and the fragmented media environment are forcing advertisers and television broadcasters to enter into multi-year contracts with each other to assure a regular flow of ad revenues and, in turn, offer advertisers assured spots on television.
