History
Hong Kong-based Star TV launched Prime Sports (later renamed Star Sports) in partnership with American company TCI, which owned Prime-branded regional sports channels. The channel was broadcast across Asia, including India, as with the footprint of AsiaSat 7. Star TV have since regionalised the channel with a number of versions. Later, ESPN have joined in the region as a competitor to Star Sports.

ESPN and Star Sports were competing each other across Asia.[2] But in October 1996, both channels have agreed to combine their operations in the region. As a result, a joint venture named ESPN Star Sports was formed, to be headquartered in Singapore.The joint venture’s business in India was managed by its subsidiary, ESPN Software India Private Limited.

In June 2012, it was announced that News Corporation would buy ESPN International’s share in ESPN Star Sports. In 2013, Star India acquired ESPN Software India from ESPN Star Sports] but kept ESPN brand for a while. ESPN International later established a partnership with what is now Sony Pictures Networks India in October 2015, and relaunched Sony Kix as Sony ESPN in January 2016. Sony ESPN was shut down in March 2020.
