Now the question is how espn can sell such a right where a television channel can't relay the original commentary?Is it the frist time we are experiencing this?I have no idea.But what Raqibul Hasan said today proves that there is something in the right issue.
I guess they bought only video rights at a cheaper price. They wanted to hit two birds with one stone, reduce broadcast cost and make their broadcast unique by providing bangla commentary.
