MUMBAI: Channel 2 Group's internet radio platform for cricket,
www.cricketfreeq.com was launched by cricket legend Kapil Dev in Mumbai, as
part of its broadcasting foray into the cricket World Cup 2011.
India's first internet radio channel on cricket features Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil
Dev and Sir Clive Lloyd as expert commentators.
According to a media release, www.cricketfreeq.com will offer ball-by-ball
cricket updates and analysis of all matches, apart from games, contests and
other interactive content for fans along with prizes worth over $one million
during the WC.
Exclusive partner
The company joined hands with Reliance Communications (RCOM) to distribute
broadcast content on mobile networks across the world.
Channel 2 Group, promoted by Dubai-based Indian businessman Ajay Sethi, has
acquired radio broadcast rights for leading sports events like the Cricket
World Cup 2011, English Premier League & Dutch League (Football), Rugby World
Cup, Wimbledon, Australian Open & US Open (Tennis) and major pro Golf Tours
such as US PGA, The Masters, and Ryders.
The group's content tie-ups with leading terrestrial radio channels include
Sirius XM, North America, Channel 4 Radio Network for Middle East and CMC
Corporation Caribbean.
Key sponsors for www.cricketfreeq.com for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011
include MoneyGram, for its three-nation 'Cricket for Peace' concerts, SpiceJet
and Travel Port.
Mr. Sethi, Chairman, Channel 2 Group, said at the launch: "Initially we plan to
build a global audience for cricket and then subsequently launch platforms for
other sports.
The power of internet radio is that it allows the broadcast to capture
audiences of common diaspora across geographies.
Radio has traditionally been a local medium, but with the advent of 3G and high
broadband speeds there is a potential to transform radio into a global media
with integration across devices and platforms including radio."
