Telling the world

The TDSAT in its order has asked the MSOs to sign the RIO deals with Star before 10 November, failing which the broadcaster can disconnect its signals.

Starsports.com recorded around 800,000 visits each for the first two days of the tournament which is 80 per cent of the average IPL viewership on starsports.com and the highest for a non-cricket tournament, said Star in a media statement.

Two weeks into the competition, the ISL’s verified Twitter handle, @Indsuperleague, already boasts of more than 53,000 followers. While that maybe a fraction of, say, Sachin Tendulkar’s 4.7 million followers, it is way ahead of other sports. ISL has more than a million ‘likes’ on Facebook.
