SONY blacks out telecast

Today’s Bangalore vs Delhi match was nowhere to be seen on TV for some reason. SET MAX is showing some highlights of some old match because of “technical problems”.

Good suspense as everyone’s waiting to see how the teams are playing and no updates of score yet.

This frustrates me endlessly. Firstly, they spend so much money obtaining the telecast rights - Literally millions of dollars, and then these kinds of things happen. I mean, this would be understandable if this was some new technology and it was buggy, but this is their bread and butter.

The $50 million IPL official website is also under the same issue. Half the time I’ve gone to the website, it doesn’t work, and when it does, it is totally outdated.
