PSL signs a broadcast production deal with UK-based global leaders Sunset+Vine [Update Post #119]

[MenInG]

Lahore – October 31, 2015: Pakistan Super League has signed a broadcast production deal with UK-based global leaders Sunset+Vine to cover the league.

Sunset+Vine was awarded the contract after a stringent pre-qualification process driven towards ensuring quality production of the highest level. As part of the pre-qualification process, an ad was published for production companies to submit technical proposals. Several companies submitted proposals to obtain production rights for the PSL. The proposals were evaluated by the PSL bid committee, assisted by PSL’s global consultant, Repucom. Sunset+Vine qualified as a result of this technical evaluation, following which its financial quote was brought down significantly in line with PSL’s financial model.

Sunset+Vine, part of the Tinopolis Group of companies, is one of the leading and most formidable names in sports production worldwide having won over 40 major broadcast awards, including 5 BAFTAs for its cricket coverage. Most recently, Sunset+Vine covered the ICC World T20 Qualifiers in Scotland and Ireland which was beamed live across the world. Sunset+Vine has been a leader in the broadcast circuit by introducing innovations such as the Red Zone, Snickometer, the Analyst, Hawk-Eye and the Ultra-slo-mo camera.

The company was Host Broadcaster of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, produced the 2012 London Paralympic Games and 2014 Sochi Winter Paralympic Games for the UK broadcaster Channel 4, and currently produces the Barclays Premier League, Europa League football, Premiership Rugby and the European Champions Cup for BT Sport.

PSL will reserve all production rights for the tournament, thereby ensuring top quality coverage of the league as per international standards. The PSL is scheduled to take place in February 2016, in Dubai and Sharjah, with five teams set to take part in the first edition of the league.

Wow. Great news!

How much are they paying for getting this deal? Any news about that?

 

[Haroon786]

Congrats to the PCB. Sounds like a great coup.

Essential info missing from this post that "How much PCB will pay to this company?".

Very important question and definitely it must have been finalized in contract. I am unsure why this news item missing basic info.

Absolutely because that is the essential condition for any deal.So no idea why they haven't revealed it.

You are right. Definitely, PCB will pay them for production.

BTW [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] can you tell us that who is 'producing' IPL for BCCI and how much they paid for each season?

I'd imagine it will be atleast £3 million maybe as much as £5 million

 

[WC-Passion]

Sunset Vine, ew, worked with Spurs.

 

[Markhor]

They're great, they did the Channel 4 cricket coverage back in the day and do the Channel 5 highlights now. The Channel 4 coverage was outstanding, with innovations like Snicko, the red zone for LBWs and Hawk Eye.

They're also doing BT Sport's cricket coverage.

 

[cricketjoshila]

BTW [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] can you tell us that who is 'producing' IPL for BCCI and how much they paid for each season?

BCCIs production system is very complex.Let me try and explain.BCCI first leases all the equipment and signs up the Commentators.Then they give the management of this equipment and commentators to IMG-MSM combine who basically just do the managing work.Basically its all a BCCI production managed by IMG-MSM.

 

[cricketjoshila]

So aren't they paid for it? Please explain.

PCB will pay them for their services and equipment etc to produce the pictures.

Well done PCB.

They will sell the telecasting rights to other Channels.

Revenue?

 

[cricketjoshila]

Revenue?

Why will the producer pay any revenue?

 

[Asadullah]

Glad PCB opted for quality production. A lot of interest is lost when we see dull pictures with modern shahkay missing

 

[MABA]

Revenue will come from the channel which will telecaste it. Sunset will only produce the product which the PCB will pay for.

Oh thank you...I got it...

And that is the reason the next step is for TV sponsorship rights.

 

[princeuk]

Terrific news. This is just the beginning

 

[MightyObnoxious]

This is excellent news. But a lot will depend on the budget PCB has, hope they give enough production budget to get Hawk-Eye plus other goodies.

 

[Fantasy]

PSL - $15 M for broadcasting rights.Any good?

After the teams and broadcasting rights were sold I saw team support threads on PP but not how much they get from broadcasting rights which I am sure many posters were interested in.So,I found an article on CI which says that PCB will get $15 millions from the broadcasting deal with TEN and PTV Sports and I thought I will share it with you guys.

I actually have no idea how much BBL,CPL,BPL,etc get from broadcasting rights(leave IPL that is a separate giant) so,I actually wanted to know how much BBL,BPL,CPL,etc get from broadcasting rights? So, is it a good deal?Did you expected it this much/less? If anyone can help me get the figures that will be much appreciated.

Have your say.

 

[Hawkeye]

BBL earned around that amount last time.

 

[Fantasy]

BBL earned around that amount last time.

Taking into account that this is the inaugural year of PSL then I think this is a job well done.Hope it grows even furthur.

 

[90MPH]

Is that for 1 year ?

 

[MarkCooper]

I hope there are English players - and maybe some Yorkshire players involved somehow. Not just Saffers like KP.

 

[Executioner]

BPL rights was bought by Channel 9 for 24 million USD over 6 years. Which is 4 million USD per year

 

[Hawkeye]

Taking into account that this is the inaugural year of PSL then I think this is a job well done.Hope it grows even furthur.

Network ten bought the rights for 5 years, total value $100mn. Per year $20 million.

If it's AUD, that's about $14 million per year. What are PSL's figures per year? If it's $15 million, then a damn good job.

 

[Fantasy]

Is that for 1 year ?

Article does not say whether it is for a year or not.So,no idea. Here is the article:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/948897.html

 

[Hawkeye]

Right, usd $15 million deal is for 3 years.

Per year $5 million.

"Ten Sports and PTV Sports are official home broadcasters for a period of three years. The value of the broadcasting deal is $15 million"

 

[Hawkeye]

BPL rights was bought by Channel 9 for 24 million USD over 6 years. Which is 4 million USD per year

PSL is $5mn per year. Not much difference, but if you look at the context it's a good deal relatively.

No home ground, not as much audience, foreign territory but still decent amount.

 

[Strike Rate]

$15m in broadcast rights and $6m in sponsorship rights are sold for 3 years.

So that means $5m/year for broadcast and $2m/year for sponsorship.

A total of $7million/year in broadcast+sponsorship revenue.

And around $9.3/year franchise fees.

PCB will share around $5m revenue out of $7m with franchises.

Lets make a rough estimate combine franchise fee and revenue from tv+sponsorship that PCB will make is around $11m/year.

Now if PCB spend even $6million to run PSL ever year even than they still have $5million left which is still a greater amount than a full series they play against sri lanka that includes Tests, ODIs and T20s and still it generates less.

 

[Strike Rate]

In 2008 the deal which IPL got was US$1.026 billion for ten years.

Can't compare any league with IPL in terms of numbers lol.

 

[cricketjoshila]

The 5mn USD per year is a poor deal.Its pretty close to the BPL deal and far less than the BBL deal of 20mn USD.Lets not even bring IPL here which renegotiated its Tv deal in 2009 and now gets close to 160mn per year.

5 mn/year kinda looks pretty thin I should say.But considering all odds-league out of Pak,inaugural year and all that then it is a decent deal.

 

[Hawkeye]

Still 5mn per year is not a good deal.

More like $7million per year for 3 years, as explained by SR.

It's much better than the BPL deal, which has local grounds, crowds, full attendance.

Another reason: BPL is stuck at $4mn a year for 6 years. PCB will get much higher value when PSL moves to Pakistan after 3 years.

It doesn't sound impressive when you single it out and look at the figure yeah.

If i am not wrong BBL and English league both aren't broadcasted on a free to access channel. Not sure about IPL is Star Sport/Sony available for free in whoel country? but still the population and viewership of india is huge so can't compare

BPL, PSL these leagues are aired on channels that are free to access like PTV Sports and Channel 9 and their revenue comes from tv ads only so i guess this makes a big difference.

 

[Hawkeye]

SR, BBL is broadcasted free to air on network ten.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Thanks.

Disagree.

It should have fetched around $15 Million a year rather than three years. It means the marketing team is not doing its job at all.

We have the second or third largest fan base with nothing else to compete.

It is in February a prime month as well ... No wonder no one cares about us in cricket these days.

 

[90MPH]

It's a good deal when all things are taken into account.

I am not a big fan of these leagues but at least some revenue is coming for the PCB, especially considering the fixture fiasco at the international level.

Once the league starts Pak soil I am sure they will get better revenue.

We are talking broadcast deals why include title sponsorship into it?

What has TV broadcast rights got to do with local stadium or foreign?Those watching on Tv will watch it on Tv whether the matc is in Lahore or Sharjah.

We dont know when BPL deal was struck.Wasnt if before 1st BPL in 2012?

Considering that PSL rights have been deemed to be only slightly morr valuable than BPL and thats a big big disappointment.

You don't have free to air concepts in India.Only Govt channels are free to air .

IPL is broadcasted by Sony and mostly u have to subscribe Rs.30 per month to watch for those two months (April-May)

In Pakistan you don't have to pay to watch any series involving Pakistan. PTV Sports is free govt channel and available everywhere without cable it broadcasts all Pakistan series and also other important tournaments and series like Ashes, Asia Cup, Champions League, World Cup, CT etc etc also covers all important football leagues, worldcup, olympics, tennis grand slams and all major sports events.

Ten Sports and Geo Super both are free too and available on cable (almost everyone have it in country) without paying anything extra.

The earning of these channels come just from tv ads so they return their investment through ads. If we also had Sky, Star Sport etc im sure PCB was going to get better deals.

India was like that 20 years ago.Every match will be sold to govt sports channel(DD) where the production will be crap and revenue for BCCI is poor.

Broadcasting in India has moved on in last 10-15 years and so has sports broadcasting .

Now every sport(Hockey Football Badminton) is slowly starting to boom from broadcasting revenues
Almost every home that has TV has cable or DTH so it isn't any different than free to air in other countries.

P.S

Do people in Pakistan pay any subscription fee like in UK for BBC?

Yeah. $15million for three years is not a very good job done by the PCB. But then again, no other broadcaster was interested so PCB's hands we're tied. Pakistan needs to have more sports channels to for PCB to actually start earning money. I think, the upcoming DTH auction, sadly now postponed, are a good step in the right direction.
PCB should have gotten about 15 to 20 million per year but with no other broadcaster interested, they couldn't exactly play hard ball. They could compliment it by selling streaming rights sepratley and also the mobile score alert rights.

I think this deal include that number. For Pakistan they sold it to Ten Sports+PTV and the numbers are included.

Ten Sports and PTV together these days are playing interesting game to go together for rights these days to keep Geo Super out of the race because they don't have enough money. Last time Geo Super got the right for Pak-SL series before 2 years and they were not even able to pay on time.

I think this figure is for home rights. Global rights should be a separate figure.

 

[Executioner]

How can fans be so delusional?

I think a 5million USD contract per year is excellent. Not big difference compared to BPL, but like BD, Pak also watches its matches on free TV. I will say PCB is doing a fine job. The worst thing one can do is compare with India and Australia. India has a huge population, and also plenty of high earning people. Australia is a first world country.


The sooner people realize that BPL, PSL, CPL has lesser earning potential the better. But earning money should not be the most important thing here.

agreed, people ignore all other factors and just focus on revenue, comparing apple with oranges. No one is going to pay $20MN/year for PSL in its first year.

So PSL is either undervalued or PSL isnt considered to be much above BPL in terms of value.

There is a day/night difference between Pakistan and Australia.
The minimum wage in Australia is $16.87 per hour and in Pakistan it's 15,000 Rs per month that means it is $1.23 per hours.
National Income per capita of Australia is over $45,000 USD and Pakistan's is around $830.
Cost of living in Australia is around $2000 bare minimum for two bedroom apartment. In average cost of living.. well you can easily live for $600-700 dollars.

I can go on and on but you got the point I am saying, right?

Pus BBL goes on for 5 weeks this is a 3 week tournament so obviously there is going to be a difference in revenue as well.

Now add the volatility of Pakistan's market, Indecisiveness over future market, ambiguity over who would be running PCB next year, you get a product with extreme risk and low market value as starters.

And you said IPL buys tv rights of what 190 MIllion? Do you know how much are tv right of NFL? 27 Billion USD!

Thats 160mn USD per year.For a 6 week tournament.NFL runs for 6 months.You can do the pro rata calculations here.

Pakistan has the second biggest cricket market with little or no competition from any other sports.Yet your valuation is close to what BPL gets and far less than BBL.People here were saying PSL will go past BBL where as now the valuation is close to BPL rather BBL.

So as i said either the PSL is undervalued or the PSL doesnt have much value over and above BPL.

IPL is a two month touny. ANd what what ever you do you can't reach 27 Billion figure. There 1000 Million in a billion. It's 9 billion from top three channels, plus right from ESPN of two billion plus Direct tv, so it comes to $12 billion roughly a year.

Pakistan is second biggest market in terms of viewers but not overall due to low GDP per capita. PSL might go past BBL but not right now, not in near future. You can be happy!

PSL in not much different from BPL in terms of broadcasting rights right now but it has many other factors as well. Better players and better pay for starters.

NFL smashes IPL tv deal out of the park despite having a 1/5th target market even if you do it pro rata. So yes his point stands.

Either you need to be a first world country with a top economy (and US$10K per capita minimum) or you need to have close to a billion population like India if you are a third world country.. Pakistan has neither so its foolhardy to expect it to demand close to BBL sums.

Nopes his point doesnt stand.NFL is paid that much money by 3 networks combined for a 9 year period played over 6 months for a brand thats 100 years old.

BPL was only slightly less than PSL,and remember BPL rights were sold in 2012.

Please dont exxagerate.Its 27bn spread over 9 years thats 3bn each year to be paid combined by the 3 broadcasters.

IPL is a 6 weeks tournament.Not 2 months.

200mn people with no other sport to compete with and you believe 5mn USD is fair valuation.Then i guess you would also agree that contrary to what many believe,there isnt much money in Pakistan cricket?

 

[Asadullah]

Still 5mn per year is not a good deal.

Can't understand why Star group has been least interested in covering Pakistan cricket. They have great production and can tap into 2nd largest population/market easily by outbidding Ten, etc.

Do u have any idea why Star has only concentrated on Indian cricket? I would love to see them cover Pakistani series, especially the high-profile ones, and PSL.

The low amount is clearly due to lack of competition.

Geo's sports channel lacks funds. ARY has ever only covered one bilateral series, must have found it difficult to cover cricket, hence never tried it again

We seriously need some big international channels to focus on Pakistani cricket. I seriously believe PCB is selling the rights at under-valued amounts, and Ten is enjoying big profits out of situation

Please dont exxagerate.Its 27bn spread over 9 years thats 3bn each year to be paid combined by the 3 broadcasters.

IPL is a 6 weeks tournament.Not 2 months.

200mn people with no other sport to compete with and you believe 5mn USD is fair valuation.Then i guess you would also agree that contrary to what many believe,there isnt much money in Pakistan cricket?

I though the contract was for 3 years. You're right about being 3 Billion. And India has other sports? Lol not sure what point you're trying to make? Are you saying that 190 Million is equal to 3000 Million? And NFL is for entire 6 months either. It's roughly for 4 1/2 month.

Are you really that thick? PSL is in it's first year. The proposed league has been delayed for 5 years so of course it's not going to reach it's potential in it's first year. You can keep hating. PSL has nothing to do with you. You can take your **** out of PP and PSL if you have any issues. No one here said it's bigger than IPL so you really shouldn't be crying or do you like crying anyway?

India has ISL ITPL and other leagues which though not as rich as IPL but have significant following and money.

I am saying 190mn is for 6 weeks.If IPL was a year long event it would have been a couple of billion dollar a year sport.

PSL should have been valued around 15mn USD per year minimum as Pakistans population is 1/5 of India.And slightly lower Per capita.There can be only 2 reasons for such a poor valuation.Either PCB didnt sell the rights correctly and did some you know what subcontinental thing or the broadcasters dont think Pakistan as a market has much value in cricket terms.

Isnt Jang group PaKistans biggest media group?

Why isnt ARY interested in cricket telecast?

Pakistan may be the only major cricket country where no local channels are interested in its most popular sport and rights are won by a Indian owned channel.This is really strange.
