edition of its ‘Super Star League’ initiative. The
channel will launch the initiative from 14 March, 2010 wherein movies will be
telecast 11 pm, right after the IPL matches.
35
movies will air including Con Air, 88 Minutes, The Recruit, Bedtime
Stories, Jingle All The Way, Jumper, Pretty Woman and
27 Dresses during the IPL period. Meanwhile,
Pix is doing a Pix Premier League (PPL) initiative. This will involve the screening
of movies like Click, Slumdog Millionaire and Outlander. Pix is
also doing a contest wherein viewers have to answer a question related to the
film that is being aired. On giving the right answer, the chosen winner can win
tickets to IPL matches in their city. As
had been reported earlier, HBO has also announced the second season of Hollywood
Premiere League (HPL). The channel is looking to take HPL to the next level this
year with a new format and new elements like HPL Scoreboard and HPL Googly. |
