No La Liga in India...

It's confirmed...NO La Liga telecast in india from ESS...

It was never their priority and one can only hope that TENsports will pick up the rights and give better coverage as certainly ESPNStar's priority was always EPL while Tensports (and Zee sports as well hopefully) will look at it as their main football league, if they get the rights.
Here's hoping that they do. And hopefully they'll provide as good a coverage as ESPN-Star gives to EPL and Neo Sports gives to Serie A and Bundesliga.
The only problem ofcourse will be the clashes with cricket matches.

It's pathetic and disastrous to miss La Liga and probably the best La Liga season ever. So the decision by ESS must be final, though still it's difficult to digest ESS's decision. ESS seems to be too proud with EPL and cricket properties they have. As for what ESS has done on La Liga, we curse them, not be able to renew EPL rights next season onwards.

Still a faint hope lies in Ten Sports. TEN have said the league is asking a huge sum and perhaps 10 times more than they could get from advertisers. Still they have not totally denied the telecast. If TEN aggressively tries to promote and market the League on its platform (incl. Zee Sports)like what ESS is doing for EPL, probably they can acquire enough sponsors and advertisers. It all depends on TEN's strtaegies and marketing plans and hard work to sell the League. Who wants to see SPL and Dutch League as a substitute of La Liga? And for the argument that La Liga is kicked off late at night, I am very sure that La Liga can get as much viewership as Champs League which also kicks off after midnight. And btw, lot of La Liga matches are also kicked off in between 9.30pm to 11.30pm (Indian time) incl. clashes of Real and Barca matches. So friends in India pls call up TEN and persuade and request them humbly to think seriously over it bring us the league which is definitely the best in the world.

ESS has a dedicated Cricket channel but can't get a Football specific channel even when Football watching audience in Asia is higher than Cricket.Sheer mindlessness on their part.

Anyways , being a FCB fan and a La Liga fan , i believe someone take the onus and telecast it ASAP...
