BCCI Create new troubles on broadcaster fees, they always did it for money and this time they did it for the same. They want so called "realistic costs" in for providing space and access to independent TV and radio commentary teams from the tv channels of the Sky TV and BBC. Well they demand extra costs for the space and box from Sky TV and BBC who already had agreement with Star TV which is the owner of "global media rights" for INDIA, means the match involves the team of man in blue. While BCCI want £500,000 (US$806,000) from and Sky and £50,000 (US$80,000) from BBC. BCCI official said that - Sky TV and BBC not only only asked for a commentary box but also full just like the one of the broadcaster that appears in each of the game in each of the filed mean stadium, SO cost is not bearable by BCCI or the sponsors but the cost have to beared by Sky TV and BBC. What you think about this? Post your comment about this. IS is good or BCCI too much greed of money.

I would say this is BCCI's business on how they want to commercialize their game. It is to be remembered that the broadcasting companies also earn a lot from showing these matches. So I do not see anything wrong in BCCI wanting it's pie in that. After all the team that gets the maximum eyeballs in the world of cricket is India. So the BCCI has every right to do so. Cheers! Ram
