The News Broadcasters Association has decided not to cover the third season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament due to the stringent time limit media policy laid down by the IPL authorities.
IPL and SET Max, the official partner channel for the live broadcast of the matches, have refused to abide by their commitment to the norms for use of cricket footage, set down in consultation with the news broadcasters in 2008, a statement by the News Broadcasters Association (NBA) stated.
