Network Ten wins IPL Rights.
Australian commercial broadcaster Ten Network acquired the live television rights for all the Twenty20 cricket matches in a five-year deal with the Indian Premier League. Ten is believed to have paid between $10 million and $15 million for the rights.
Under the agreement, which begins on April 18, matches will be shown on free-to-air television and followed by repeats on Ten's high definition digital channel.
The deal will provide a serious challenge to Channel Nine,which has dominated cricket broadcasting in Australia for the last 30 years.
