Walt Disney has held the TV and digital rights to IPL for the past five seasons, won only the broadcast TV rights, but agreed to pay $3.01 billion for them. 

In this both the IPL and Warner content wins increase RIL’s leverage to change the Indian broadcasting landscape, to tip the balance even further in favor of streaming, and to undermine Disney’s position in the world’s most populous nation. 

JioCinema, which has aggregated content from the suppliers containing AltBalaji, Eros Now, Paramount, Shemaroo Entertainment, and Viacom18, currently operates as an ad-supported operation. It is tipped to start charging subscription fees later this year. 

The IPL tournament is now underway with JioCinema playing it free of charge, having an ad-supported fashion, while Star offers the same games just behind a paywall. 

JioCinema has also begun its own movie and TV production efforts. Primarily, this month it unveiled a slate of 100 pieces of content in Hindi and a long range of regional languages.
