Doordarshan finally got a chance to bag the radio rights for the Indo-Pak cricket series, and still continues to hope for a deferred-live telecast of the matches on its National platform. The rights for radio were bagged for $40,000 from Ten Sports, Prasar Bharati CEO K S Sarma said after a meeting today with senior Ten Sports officials. However, The outcome over the telecast of the matches remained inconclusive. While Ten’s Chris McDonald categorically said his offer to Doordarshan would be confined to highlights of five ODIs and three test matches only, even Sarma has scheduled a meeting for tomorrow to make another bid for the telecast of the matches.
