Hotstar is the digital platform owned by Star India and is available in India. The website follows a freemium service model wherein it offers free as well as premium content. Other than what Star Sports broadcasts, it also webcasts the Indian Premier League and other tournaments played in India, domestic as well as international.
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 live across Asia, as with the footprint of AsiaSat 1. Star TV have since regionalised the channel with a number of versions, including a dedicated version for Taiwan. Later, ESPN have joined in the region as a competitor to Star Sports.
