Nimbus forced to sell revenue rights to Doordarshan

Nimbus was forced to sell its rights as official ‘revenue-management company’ (RMC) for cricket’s India-Pakistan series, including both one-days and the Test matches, to Indian public-service broadcaster Doordarshan.

Nimbus was forced to sell the RMC rights to Doordarshan for Rs 81.5 crore as the law stipulates that the broadcaster who manages to bring in most money from sponsors and advertisers gets the rights to marketing the tournament.

As a result of this development, Neo Sports and Doordarshan will sell advertising and sponsorships independently on their respective channels.
