Telling the world

Starting January 1, Star World Premiere HD, Star World, FX and Fox Crime will air new shows. Here's a peek at what's in store channel by channel.

Uday Shankar, chief executive of Star India said, "Our intent was to awaken the passion of football and create the birth of a footballing nation. The resultant success of the Hero ISL justifies it as the right platform for tapping the passion for the sport that exists in India."

An aggregate of 429 million viewers (TAM data CS4+ extrapolated to the universe using a standard conversion factor) watched the inaugural Hero Indian Super League football tournament live on their TV screens, making it the second most-watched sport in the country after cricket.
